🇧🇷 Brazil recipe
Moqueca
Moqueca baiana is Bahia's greatest culinary treasure, a vibrant seafood stew that reflects the Afro-Brazilian soul of the region. Firm white fish and shrimp are bathed in a fragrant sauce of coconut milk, tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, and the distinctive orange-hued dendê palm oil, traditionally cooked in a clay pot (panela de barro).
