Colombian Breakfast- Arepa Affair

The Green Table Club: The Arepa Affair

Warm corn flatbreads straight off the griddle, split open and stuffed, a delicious coffee alongside. Everything you want from a Colombian breakfast, and nothing on the plate that came from an animal.

We’re taking over Protected content for a morning of arepas done two ways. Arepas were plant-based to begin with — corn, water, salt — and it was only ever the filling that changed. So we’ve gone back to the start and filled ours with slow-braised shiitake and spiced chickpeas. If you’ve only ever met chickpeas in hummus, braised into an arepa is a different proposition entirely.

Why arepas, of all things?

Because the classic filling is slow-shredded beef, and we wanted to see whether anyone would miss it.

What to expect

A relaxed morning, good coffee, and a room full of people who are curious about where breakfast comes from. Come on your own or bring a friend. No prior knowledge of anything required, and no lecture over the arepas.
