\u201dCarne mechada is one of the most popular fillings for arepas in my native country,\u201d says Liliana Hernandez<\/a>, one of our favorite Venezuelan homecooks. \u201dEveryone in my family loves this savory, rich mix of shredded beef, sweet aj\u00ed chile, green and red peppers, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce\u2014which we call salsa Inglesa, English sauce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She and her family now live in the Atlanta area, but Liliana keeps their family heritage very much alive through her cooking. Starting with arepas, which she takes pride in making almost every week. \u201dArepas<\/a>, of course, are the food most identified with my homeland\u2014and our daily bread. Made with ground cornflour and cooked on a griddle or budare, we eat them plain, with butter, or stuffed with one of many delicious rellenos, including this one: carne mechada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dAnother classic relleno for arepas is reina pepiada<\/a>, named after a 1950s Venezuelan beauty queen, and made with avocado, shredded chicken and diced onion. I love both. Today, I am honored to share this recipe for my traditional carne mechada. Enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
