Black Beans
You will find this dish throughout the Caribbean, and the north of South America. I make it Venezuelan style. I do know that in Brazil and that in Cuba it is prepared similarly, but I am not sure how close their recipes are. The only downside to this dish is that it requires a very long time to cook. ...

Arepas
This is a Venezuelan delicacy I was happy to grow up with. There is nothing better than to eat an arepa and have a nice "cafe con leche" for breakfast. I'll break any diet for them! I'll happily skip crème brûlée - no problem - but arepas I cannot resist! Ingredients: 2 cups Harina PAN - corn flour, ...

Guasacaca – Venezuelan Guacamole
This is the Venezuelan version of guacamole. It is a little darker than the Mexican version and that is due to the fact that we use red peppers instead of or besides using tomatoes. In Venezuela it is served with steaks. Ingredients: 1 Avocado - make sure it is ripe! 1/2 lime juice 1/2 onion 1/3 ...
