Recipe Description
Vegan Humitas are a delightful testament to the ingenuity of traditional South American cuisine, reimagined here for the vegan palate. Originating from the heart of the Andes, this dish is a celebration of corn, a staple ingredient that has nourished generations. By replacing the lard typically used in traditional recipes with vegetable oil, and omitting any animal-derived products, this version retains the cherished flavors and textures while being entirely plant-based. Wrapped in corn husks and steamed to perfection, each bite of these Vegan Humitas unfolds with the sweetness of fresh corn combined with the aromatics of onion, garlic, and spices. This recipe not only pays homage to its cultural roots but also respects modern dietary preferences, making it a perfect dish for everyone to enjoy.

- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin

Steps:
