Brazilian Fish Stew (Moqueca de Peixe)

This dish is originally from the North region of Brazil, but loved by all Brazilians. Some people say it tastes like a mild Thai Red Curry. I disagree because the ingredients are very different.
This dish is fresh, exotic, light and yet creamy. So easy to make. It’s great on its own, served with rice or with a nice crusty bread. 🥘🥰💙🍀

Add the coconut cream and azeite de dendê. Mix it well and now you can adjust the salt and pepper to your taste.

Add the fish and prawns and very carefully press it down, so its submerged in the sauce.

Put the lid on and let it cook for 15 minutes on a medium heat until the fish and prawns are cooked.

Hope you enjoy it!

My name is Naiane. I am a 41 year old food lover and recipe developer. I spend most of my free time testing, experimenting and having fun, creating new and replicating old recipes with a twist and lots of love! I was born in Brazil and I grow up in a very traditional Italian family in a small town in South of Brazil. My mum's side of the family is Italian and my dad's a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese. I feel very privileged to have these background and be able to implement the love and passion for food as much as those countries are passionate about. Moved to London after I finished International Relations at University in 2004 and I always worked in the food industry! I have a 6 year old son who loves to taste my recipes and he is a very serius critic of my dishes :) I aim to cater for everyone and every dietary requirement. As my Mamma always says "when you cook with love, you can taste it in the food".
