Vegetarian Cuban Recipes

These vegetarian Cuban recipes alone can fulfill your nutritional needs while satisfying any cravings for savory and sweet treats.

Cubans traditionally have raised pigs and chickens on their island, as well as fishing in its bays.

But they have always made scrumptious vegetable dishes to go with them.

Noche Buena Dinner
Christmas Eve is celebrated with a feast, followed by a quiet family day, and gifts twelve days later on Epiphany.

The menu normally features:

Roasted pork or arroz con pollo
and
Black beans and rice
and
Yucca
and
Fried Plantains
and
Flan

When you skip the meat dishes and add a salad or other green vegetable, the meal is well-rounded and still makes a worthy feast.

Many thanks to Ariela Boronat, an amazing artist who also let me into her kitchen to learn to make these dishes at her side.
