For those of you that are not vegan, don´t let the word vegan scare you off. Vegan foods are basically dishes that are made with plant-based products. In-fact, many of the foods we eat in our everyday lifes are naturally vegan. Like french fries, oreo cookies, pasta primavera, etc.

Make sure to use a good quality Spanish olive oil to make these recipes. It´s what gives such a beautiful flavor to Spanish cuisine.
