Mi emprendimiento a retomar. ESP-ENG

Hace poco tiempo, decidí emprender vendiendo desde mi casa y con entrega a domicilio, un plato que es venezolano, pero que también es adjudicado a Colombia.

No caeré en discusión con que si la arepa es de Venezuela o no porque hubo un momento en la historia en que ambos países eran uno solo, junto con Ecuador, a través de la declaración de independencia en el año 1830. Lo cierto es que en Chile, es un plato muy querido, y en la ciudad donde vivo, no es muy común verlo.

La arepa, para quien no la conoce, es como una torta de maíz (también se hace con harina de trigo, pero es una variación por la forma que se le da) que puede ser pre cocido o pilado, hecho en un horno, en un budare o plancha, a las brasas, freídas en aceite y hasta hervidas en agua. El gusto es algo en lo que no podemos intervenir mucho. Nosotros las hacíamos asadas en un budare.

Debo decir que ya no estoy con este emprendimiento porque el frío y el delivery en bicicleta no se la llevan bien, además, estamos en temporada de lluvia, así que se complica mucho hacer estas entregas.

Los sabores con los que inicié fueron 4; La primera foto es de carne mechada, que consiste en carne hervida, luego hecha tira para darle sabor y sazón en una sartén con los condimentos que nosotros mismos preparamos y vendemos. Se le aderezan las salsas correspondientes (mayonesa, ketchup y mostaza) y se le coloca lechuga, tomate en ruedas y queso rayado.

Las otras eran de carne asada, pollo asado o una combinación de ambas carnes. De igual manera, lleva las salsas correspondientes y los vegetales antes mencionados. Además de esto, preparé dos salsas a base de aguacate para acompañar las carnes asadas. También le agregamos queso rayado porque en Venezuela, principalmente en Maracaibo, le echamos queso a todo.

Para entregarlas, las envolvíamos en papel parafinado y en papel aluminio para que conservaran el calor durante la entrega.

El último sabor y el más deseado por todos, era la arepa de pabellón.

Este sabor tan codiciado y solicitado, aunque de mayor tiempo de elaboración, mezcla los sabores dulces con los salados, pues además del queso y los vegetales correspondientes, lleva carne mechada, caraotas negras y plátano maduro frito en tajadas, lo cual hace una combinación perfecta para representar el sabor de Maracaibo, la tierra que me vio nacer.

Fue una experiencia maravillosa este primer intento de dar a degustar este delicioso plato venezolano, y que estoy segura de que lo volveremos a intentar. Hay muchos otros platos como los tequeños que también se están dando a conocer en esta ciudad a través de otros emprendimientos de la familia que vive en esta misma ciudad.

¿Han probado alguna vez esta combinación de sabores?

Dime en los comentarios qué te ha parecido, si lo has hecho, y si aún no lo has probado, puedo compartir la receta y el paso a paso para todos.

Quiero compartir el tema musical que estoy escuchando antes de terminar esta publicación, en la voz de Andrea Bocelli y Caroline Campbell en el violín. Una combinación hermosa y una letra digna de ser analizada.

A short time ago, I decided to start selling from my house and with home delivery, a dish that is Venezuelan, but that is also awarded to Colombia.

I will not argue with whether the arepa is from Venezuela or not because there was a time in history when both countries were one, along with Ecuador, through the Declaration of Independence in 1830. The truth is that in Chile, it is a much-loved dish, and in the city where I live, it is not very common to see it.

The arepa, for those who do not know it, is like a corn cake (it is also made with wheat flour, but it is a variation due to the shape it is given) that can be pre-cooked or piled, made in an oven, in a budare or griddle, grilled, fried in oil and even boiled in water. Taste is something in which we cannot intervene much. We made them roasted in a budare.

I must say that I am no longer with this venture because the cold and the delivery by bicycle do not get along, also, we are in the rainy season, so it is very difficult to make these deliveries.

The flavors with which I started were 4; The first photo is of meatloaf, which consists of boiled meat, then stripped to give it flavor and seasoning in a pan with the seasonings that we prepare and sell ourselves. Season with the corresponding sauces (mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard) and add lettuce, sliced tomato, and grated cheese.

The others were roast beef, roast chicken, or a combination of both types of meat. In the same way, it has the corresponding sauces and the aforementioned vegetables. In addition to this, I prepared two avocado-based sauces to accompany the roast meats. We also add grated cheese because in Venezuela, mainly in Maracaibo, we add cheese to everything.

To deliver them, we wrapped them in parchment paper and aluminum foil to keep them warm during delivery.

The last flavor, and the most desired by all, was the arepa de pabellón.

This coveted and sought-after flavor, although it takes longer to prepare, mixes sweet and salty flavors, because, in addition to the corresponding cheese and vegetables, it has shredded meat, black beans, and sliced fried ripe plantains, which makes a perfect combination to represent the flavor of Maracaibo, the land where I was born.

This first attempt to taste this delicious Venezuelan dish was a wonderful experience, and I'm sure we'll try it again. There are many other dishes such as tequeños that are also becoming known in this city through other businesses of the family that lives in this same city.

Have you ever tried this combination of flavors?

Tell me in the comments what you think, if you have, and if you haven't tried it yet, I can share the recipe and the step by step for everyone.

I want to share the theme song that I am listening to before finishing this post, in the voice of Andrea Bocelli and Caroline Campbell on violin. A beautiful combination and a letter worth analyzing.

Whenever I ask you
that when, how and where
You always answer me
Perhaps, perhaps, Perhaps
And so the days pass
and I despair
And you, you answering
Perhaps perhaps Perhaps
You are losing your time
Thinking, thinking
for what you want the most
Until when, until when
And so the days go by (the days)
and I despair
And you, you answering
Perhaps perhaps Perhaps
Whenever I ask you (whenever you ask me)
That when, how and where (that when, how and where love)
You always answer me (I always answer you)
Perhaps, perhaps, Perhaps
You are losing your time
Thinking thinking
for what you want the most
Until when, until when
You are losing your time
Thinking thinking
for what you want the most
Until when, until when
And so the days pass
and I despair
And you, you answering
Perhaps perhaps Perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, Perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, Perhaps
