What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 3 slices good ham
  • 1 oz manchego, sliced
  • 2 tbsp fig jam
  • A few arugula leaves

How to Make It

  2. Spread fig jam on one arepa.
  3. Layer the ham, manchego and arugula on top.
  4. Close with the second arepa and press firmly.
  5. Wrap in paper; the fig jam seals the whole thing shut.

About This Recipe

Ham, manchego and fig is the Spanish cheese-board triangle. In a sandwich, the sticky fig jam does double duty — sweetness and glue — so it holds together for the road.
