And now for something completely different... I live in New York, and there is this fantastic restaurant in the East Village called Caracas Arepa Bar. While the Arepas there are great, the best part by far is this incredible sauce they have that everyone slathers all over everything. Some time ago, I found a recipe for something very similar over atCheekyStitch, but that post seems to be down. Thankfully, Google Cache came to the rescue, and I was able to grab the recipe to archive here.

Mango Arepa Sauce, originally from CheekyStitch

• 1/2 cup cilantro
• 1/2 cup parsley
• 1 cup (or to taste) extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1 1/2 cup of yellow peppers
• 1/2 cup of mango
• 4  cloves garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon mayo
• 1 tablespoons oregano
• salt to taste

Put all ingredients but olive oil in blender. Once pureed, gradually mix in olive oil until at desired consistency.
