10 traditional Easter dishes from around the world to serve this year

Chef Richard Sandoval of Richard Sandoval Hospitality has a special place in his heart for chile relleno, a Mexican dish with roots in Puebla, Mexico. This traditional Easter dish is associated with the religious observances of Lent and Easter.

“During this time, many families prepare versions filled with cheese or vegetables to honor the tradition of abstaining from meat,” says Sandoval. “The dish becomes a beautiful symbol of creativity and devotion — taking humble, seasonal ingredients and transforming them into something truly special.”
