Brazilian Fish Stew ((Moqueca Baiana))

Fish Stews can be so boring…but not a BRAZILIAN Fish Stew!! With a fragrant tomato coconut sauce with a fresh hit of lime, this is such a different exotic way to serve up fish that is off the charts delicious - yet simple to make.

Your recipe is done in an asian manner with marination and pre frying in the steps. Though not authentically Brazilian in how it is cooked, I appreciate the simplicity of your version, and this is most likely how my Asian husband would want me to prepare it. 😊

Thank you thank you thank you! I surprised my Brasiliero wife with this recipe and she was thrilled! Just like home cooking

[jeanmenta]

Wow i never thought of making it this way. Usually I make it without cubing the fish and letting it cook with all the other ingredients, but this seems like a great way to not overcook it

Just made it, pretty dang good! Used cod, and a can of rotel diced tomatoes with green chillies instead of crushed tomatoes. Also added some leeks since i had those lying around, and a cube of frozen spinach. Thanks!

This is soo delicious. I bread and fry my fish first then add it to the stew. Soo delicious with rice, pasta, bread rolls or cornbread.

To everyone complaining how it's not authentic, we get it, but not everywhere in the world has annatto or palm oil or whatever. Plus browning some ingredients before stewing generally just adds some punch up.

Super - das beste Gericht aus Brasilien :-D Muito obrigado

[jadinebomfim]

I'm baiana, Very good. But the moqueca has azeite de Dendê. Thanks, beijos da Bahia Brasil.

Do Brazilians like consuming fish regularly? Always interested in Brazilian cuisine..I am not sure if they were consuming fish, or if they knew, how to prepare fish, like we do in the West.

It looks like delicious but it isn't a Brazilian moqueca or fish stew. I'm from Bahia and the moqueca bahiana needs to add red palm oil. In addition, the ingredients aren't fried. Everything is boiled. Finally, the moqueca doesn't have paprika.

🐟 🔥 🍚.... Nice. This is why God invented the internet.

Gonna try this with some monkish I have in freeze -- which doesn't show a lot of option in on line recipes, so I risk but confident. Ive made Moqueca before, this seems easy, not too much exotic spice. Hope you are surviving the smoke of the fires in your new house, Nagi. Waiting to here any news on your blog.
