Venezuelan-born Juan Pablo Gonzalez is an expert in his home country's national bread, the arepa. To kick things off, he shows us how to make the basic arepas, then adds fresh tomatoes and cheese to make a simple and rich arepa a queso. Next, it's a chicken salad sandwich, Venezuelan style. Juan Pablo combines fresh herbs, sweet peppers, creamy avocado and shredded chicken, showing us a street food favourite that is sure to become a staple on your family's lunch menu. Now, it's time for a refreshing shrimp arepa. Juan Pablo mixes shrimp with the delicious and fresh flavours of lemon and cilantro, making a meal that's perfect for the beach or your patio. For his final arepa recipe, Juan Pablo whips up a crowd favourite: arepa pelúa. He piles fresh vegetables with cheese and moist, fall-off-the-bone brisket onto an arepa, to make a hearty meal that leaves just enough room for a cold beer.
