No Easter Brunch Is Complete Without These Traditional Dishes

For Ecuadorians, fanesca will be a staple at Easter brunch. The flavorful soup mixes a few of everyone’s favorite things — platanos, empanadas, rice, beans, and avocado, to name a few.

A traditional Dominican dish, habichuelas con dulce are a must for Lent. Sweet cream of beans, as it is known in English, takes, well, beans and turns them into a sweet treat by adding vanilla extract, a couple kinds of milk, and sweet potatoes to the mix.

OK, this may seem like just your regular fruitcake, but it's an experience when you have it during the holidays. Traditionally, it is an Easter treat, but some people also consume it during the Christmas holidays.

When Lent comes around, you might struggle to find meatless Latin dishes to satisfy your cravings. Ceviche steps in during that time to make the world a better place. Since meat is out of the question for some on Easter Day, this seafood-based dish usually gets the spotlight.

For some, these are an every-weekend treat, but for others, the homemade kind is had on major holidays, like Christmas and Easter. Regardless of the recipe you follow, buñuelos are the equivalent of heaven in your mouth.

If there's ever a time to try a twist on your traditional empanada recipe, it’s during Easter when you have an entire family at hand ready to taste test. Molotes are the Mexican version of the pastry — you can basically put anything you would put in a taco in them.

In Brazil, every household will be eating this fish dish. Bacalhau centers on making the most delicious cod dish you've ever tried.
