This classic seafood dish is similar to a Thai green curry, minus the heat.
You may think you don’t know moqueca, the classic Brazilian seafood dish, but wait until you hear the ingredients. This is a fish stew, though that fish will vary depending on the state in which you find yourself: ocean fish on the coastlines of Bahia and Espirito Santo; freshwater river fish in the likes of Amazonas and Para.The basic building blocks for the stew, however, are then the same.
The home state of moqueca, Bahia, was central to the slave trade in Brazil, and the use of palm oil and coconut milk, not to mention rice, can be traced back to Africa. This dish also resembles the basic fish stews that were popular in Portugal at the time. And of course the key ingredient, fish, is abundant in Brazil.
