Vegan Latin and Spanish Recipes

Vegan Cuban recipes, vegan Spanish recipes, and Latin American cuisine made with plants! Try the Vegan Cuban Picadillo for a weeknight dinner that tastes like it took all day, or the Vegan Spanish Omelette for the kind of tapas-style comfort food Spain built a whole culture around. Add a pot of Easy Cuban Canned Black Beans and a plate of Sweet Plantains fried until the edges go dark, and you've got a table nobody wants to leave - all made without a scrap of meat or dairy, and none the worse for it. Smoky, bright, a little garlicky, always meant to be eaten with people you like.
