Today Venezuelans enjoy a day off to mark the Battle of Carabobo. On this day in 1821, independence fighters under the great Simon Bolivar defeated a Royalist army led by a Spanish general. A decisive victory finally secured independence after years of war with the Spanish. We're marking the occasion with arepas reina pepeada. Arepas are a type of thin cornmeal muffin-type bread. This one is stuffed with chicken, avocado and onion, a popular combo.
