Moqueca Baiana is a traditional Brazilian seafood stew that originates from the state of Bahia. It is primarily made with fish, shrimp, or other seafood, cooked in a rich sauce of coconut milk, palm oil, tomatoes, onions, and peppers. The dish is often seasoned with fresh herbs like cilantro and served with rice. This flavorful stew is typically prepared in a clay pot, which enhances its taste. Moqueca Baiana is distinct from other versions of moqueca, such as Moqueca Capixaba, which comes from Espírito Santo and uses different ingredients and cooking methods.
