Brazilian Moqueca Fish Stew - Recipe by Faz Razeen<br />

This is a simple, but tasty recipe which is easy to make and takes about 25-30 minutes. Moqueca is a Brazilian dish based on saltwater<br />

fish stew, with tomatoes, onions, garlic and coriander. It is slowly cooked in a terracotta casserole, optionally served with prawns and<br />

includes, by preference, a mix of boneless white fish such as halibut, turbot, cod, sea bass, swordfish, etc. Moqueca is native to the state<br />

of Espírito Santo and influenced by Native Brazilian, African and Portuguese cuisine. Brazil is known for pairing fish with spicy chillies, lime<br />

and cooling coconut milk, a lovely combination. I have chosen to use cod for this recipe, but you may use any of the fish mentioned above<br />

to suit your own taste. Serves 4, allow 25 minutes to prepare, 15 minutes to cook.<br />

Ingredients :<br />

4 cod steaks 400g, cut into chunks<br />

1-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive<br />

oil<br />

1 large red onion, thinly sliced<br />

250g cherry tomatoes, cut into<br />

halves<br />

1 teaspoon salt to season<br />

2 tablespoons of soya sauce<br />

2 tablespoons tomato puree<br />

4 cloves minced garlic<br />

1 teaspoon paprika<br />

1 teaspoon ground cumin<br />

1 can 400ml coconut milk<br />

1 red chilli finely chopped.<br />

1 cup sliced assorted sweet and/or<br />

hot peppers<br />

1/4 cup chopped coriander<br />

I lime<br />

Method :<br />

1: Prepare the fish by cutting into square pieces equal<br />

sizes or alternatively leave cod steaks as they are,<br />

season with salt, but you don't have to marinate with<br />

any spices or juices etc.<br />

2: Prepare your mise en place by slicing onions,<br />

assorted sweet and/or hot peppers, tomatoes sliced<br />

chopped garlic and chilli, coarsely chopped<br />

coriander and remainder of the ingredients.<br />

3: Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium<br />

heat. Saute the onion for 2-3 minutes until softened<br />

and then add tomato puree, paprika, cumin,<br />

chopped garlic and chilli into the onions and cook<br />

further for 3-4 minutes.<br />

4: Add in chopped tomatoes and remainder of the<br />

sliced assorted sweet and/or hot peppers and mix<br />

well for a minute and add the coconut milk and soya<br />

sauce and stir gently and place the fish in the pan<br />

ensuring it is fully covered by the stew, cover with a<br />

lid and let it simmer for 6-7 minutes on a medium<br />

heat, after which it should be well cooked and ready<br />

to serve.<br />

Finally, before you serve your Moqueca fish stew<br />

add squeezed lime juice and a handful of coarsely<br />

chopped coriander.
