The sweet scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves -- and beans. Yes, beans in a dessert. And an extra sweet one. Habichuelas con dulce, or sweet beans, is the Dominican Republic’s signature dish of the Lenten season. Add little pieces of white yams and a handful of raisins for texture & of course, a few Dominican milk cookies for a final touch. Exclusive to the Dominican Republic, served warm or cold and as a meal, snack or dessert #dessert #sweetbeans #beans #dominicanfood
