Chipped MushroomBy María HummelPeruvian cuisine is well known throughout the world for its quality and flavors. This simple vegetarian version of "Sautéed Loin" does not need meat to give it an exquisite taste and texture. It can be served with brown rice or with any other accompaniment.Low-Fat TamalesBy María HummelThis tamale is prepared with zero refined fats (such as oil or vegetable shortening) or saturated fats (such as lard), and yet retains all the flavor and texture of the original tamales. Your family will be surprised how delicious these healthy tamales are!Vegetarian SeasoningBy María HummelIt is very common in Latin American cuisine to use the famous "bouillon cubes" or "powdered consommé", either flavored with chicken, beef or tomato. Unfortunately, these products can have a very high sodium level, in addition to other chemical ingredients that could be harmful to health. This recipe provides a healthy alternative for these products, which can be used to give a good flavor to any dish.Red Chili SauceBy María HummelThis is a basic sauce that can be used to make many Mexican dishes, such as Pozole and Enchiladas. I prefer to use peppers that are not spicy, but that is really up to each person. The taste of this homemade sauce is far superior to the processed sauces that often have chemical ingredients to preserve them.Quinoa TacosBy María HummelThis delicious Mexican dish is easy, fast, and convenient. To make the tacos, you can use our Spicy Quinoa “Taco Meat”, or any substitute meat you want.Gallo PintoBy María HummelThis simple but appetizing dish is usually eaten for breakfast in both Costa Rica and Nicaragua, although it is also served at other times of the day. It can be done with black or red beans. It is usually accompanied with corn tortillas or male bananas if desired, but for a more balanced meal for diabetics, we recommend accompanying it with a steamed salad or vegetables.Simple PancakesBy Life and Health NetworkWe love these light and fluffy pancakes exactly the way this picture shows: with a little dab of almond butter and sliced bananas.Lemon-Ginger DressingBy Jon Ewald, MDThanks to my mom, I was introduced to this oil-free dressing that manages to maintain all of the brightness and acidity that I love in a dressing.Mango-Lime SalsaBy Life and Health NetworkWe love this sweet and tangy salsa best with the Caribbean burritos but it would be just as good with a simple handful of tortilla chips or on top of an enchilada for a tropical spin.
