This okra stew is a Puerto Rican dish that showcases tender okra simmered in Spanish-style tomato sauce, onions, peppers, garlic and spices. The slow cooking allows the okra to release its natural thickening power, creating a silky, flavorful sauce that’s served over a bed of fluffy white rice, which soaks up the rich broth in every bite.

Tender butter beans combine with red curry paste and aromatic spices in this hearty plant-based dish. We use butter beans here, but any white bean, like cannellini or navy, would work. Enjoy it on its own or serve it over brown rice or whole-grain noodles for a more filling meal.

Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup

There's no cream in this silky mushroom soup. Pureed potatoes give this vegan mushroom soup its creamy texture. Be sure to use Yukon Gold—russets don't provide quite the right texture.
