Bahian Moqueca
Bahian Moqueca is a traditional Brazilian fish stew that originates from the state of Bahia. It is made with fresh fish, typically snapper or cod, and is cooked with a variety of ingredients, including onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, and garlic. The dish is distinguished by its use of coconut milk and palm oil, which give it a rich flavor and creamy texture.
This dish is often served with rice and can be accompanied by farofa, a toasted cassava flour mixture. Bahian Moqueca reflects the cultural influences of African, Indigenous, and Portuguese cuisines, making it a vibrant representation of Bahian culinary heritage.
