Brazilian Fish Stew (Moqueca Baiana)
Recipe video above. A traditional Brazilian dish in a delicately flavoured coconut base broth with terrific depth of flavour that belies the relatively short ingredient list! The broth is quite refreshing and not too rich, unlike many strong flavoured, rich coconut based curries. I made this just using fish but it is also made as a seafood stew with prawns and calamari.
