Moqueca is a traditional Brazilian fish stew with West African influences, combining firm white fish with onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, and coconut milk. This dish is fragrant, flavorful, and rich, often served with rice. Originating in Bahia, it traditionally includes palm oil, but olive oil is commonly used as a substitute. The result is a silky, hearty, and aromatic seafood stew that is both comforting and exotic.
