Gluten-free vegan dinners made with tomatoes

These 56 gluten-free dinners lean on tomatoes to build rich, saucy bases, from the 15-Minute Chickpea Coconut Curry to the slower-simmered African Tomato Peanut Stew with Chickpeas. We've also included Cuban Lentil Picadillo with its briny olives and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup for something lighter, so there's a tomato-based option whether you have 15 minutes or 40.
