Fanesca is a traditional hot soup of Ecuador. Fanesca traditionally cooked during Holy week (the last and the most severe week of lent before Easter), at other times panescu almost never try. Fasting is prohibited to eat meat, the body to the 7-th week of lent usually exhausted. Fanesca containing several types of cereals and nutritious pumpkin, is intended to compensate for the lack of nutrients. In Ecuador, fanesca allowed to cook salt dried cod in milk, as in Ecuador, Catholicism spread, which prohibits the Holy week meat only. In Russia, where the rules of fasting are stricter, panescu cook with fish and sometimes without oil. From myself I will say that is sooo rich, creamy and delicious soup!!!
