What is Latin American Food?
Latin American food is creative, bold, made with love and yes, sometimes spicy. It draws influences from Native American, Spanish, Asian and even African cuisines. These cuisines widely use spices like allspice, cumin, achiote etc. The chili peppers vary from region to region, and you’d want to adjust the amounts based on your spice tolerance. These cuisines also use fresh herbs like cilantro, thyme and oregano. The main components of recipes include rice, bread, beans, meat and more. And while most Hispanic recipes use meat as an ingredient, they’re easily adaptable and can be made vegetarian by swapping meat for beans.
