Moqueca (Brazilian Seafood Stew)

This vibrant and fragrant Brazilian seafood stew is a celebration of coastal flavours—featuring tender white fish, juicy prawns, and fresh mussels simmered in a rich broth of coconut milk, palm oil, tomatoes, and sweet peppers. The infusion of garlic, ginger, and Scotch bonnet adds depth and warmth, making it creamy, aromatic, and full of bold, tropical flavours.

Notes

Pro Tip✨: For an even more flavourful broth, prepare the base a day ahead and let the flavours meld overnight before adding the seafood when ready to serve.
