About this recipe
These quinoa arepas with grilled portobello mushrooms fuse the best of Andean tradition with a modern, healthy, and gluten-free approach.
Inspired by South American arepas, but adapted with quinoa as a base, they offer a crispy texture on the outside and soft on the inside.
The portobello mushrooms, marinated and grilled, provide a deep umami flavor that contrasts with the lightness of the arepa.
A perfect proposal for those looking for a nutritious, vegetable, and flavorful meal, ideal for sharing at any casual gathering.
