PUL Team is it possible to make a vegan Reina Pepiada recipe? It's such a delicious-looking filling for the arepas 🙏💗

Ufff YES!!! That was always my favorite arepa and I miss it! It would be great to veganize 🌱

OMG, I can't believe arepas made it to PUL.
As a Colombian, this is a staple in my home

What is a good dish to couple this with for a meal?

Juliana B Torres - June 12, 2025, 8:49 a.m.

Hey, so we eat arepas in Colombia quite regularly and I can give you some ideas.
In Colombia we eat them at breakfast with scrambled eggs with chorizo for example. For a vegan alternative, they are a great side for a main meal that has grains and rice such as beans, lentils, etc.

Kirsty Gibb - June 12, 2025, 4:38 p.m.

So maybe with tofu scramble and some of the PUL chorizo would be an option for a vegan version of the traditional way to eat them? This is probably as close as I'm going to get that part of the world so I'd like to know if these are a good dupe.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Juliana B Torres - June 14, 2025, 6:09 p.m.

Yes! Actually that would be a great alternative.
You can Google 'huevos pericos paisa' and you should be able to see what they look like. Always adding tomatoes and spring onion.
