Cook Up The Magic With Pork Arepas Recipe
One of our favorite things about a Disney getaway is the opportunity to try new eats and treats! With Ecanto winning over the hearts and imaginations of Disney fans of all ages, Colombian cuisine, and culture is HUGE right now. With that in mind, Adventures by Disney has created a new voyage to Colombia as part of their 2024 itineraries. This tour serves as the perfect introduction to the country’s incredible food and we’ve got a taste for you this afternoon – A White Corn and Mangalista Pork Arepas recipe with Hogao!
For those unfamiliar, Arepas are a traditional Colombian dish. In the movie Encanto, Mirabel’s mom Julieta actually makes arepas for her family. Now you can recreate this dish in your home with a bit of help from Colombian-born Disney Chef Danny Contreras.
As Chef Danny explains, Arepas start with three simple ingredients, pre-cooked corn flour, water, and a bit of fat (like butter) to work as a binding agent. You can make them savory or sweet with meat and cheese as popular fillings.
You can check out the full recipe for the White Corn and Mangalista Pork Arepas With Hogao below! In this recipe a for arepas that are filled with pork rillettes and topped with hogao which is a Colombian tomato sauce with garlic and cumin.

In an interview, which we share below, Chef Danny discusses how he likes to prepare arepas with his daughter as a way of bonding over their Colombian heritage. Chef Danny said that one of his father’s favorite statements was, “A meal without an arepa isn’t a complete meal.”
