About Moqueca
Moqueca is a flavorful Brazilian seafood stew that originates from the coastal regions of the country. This traditional dish combines fresh fish or shrimp with vegetables like tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers, all simmered in a rich and aromatic coconut milk base, seasoned with garlic, cilantro, and lime. Often served with rice or farofa, Moqueca is a vibrant and wholesome meal. Its ingredients make it a nutritious choice, offering high-quality protein from the seafood, vitamins and antioxidants from the vegetables, and healthy fats from the coconut milk. However, its richness may contribute to calories and saturated fats, depending on the amount of coconut milk used, so portion sizes are key. Moqueca exemplifies clean, natural flavors and balanced nutrition while showcasing Brazil’s culinary heritage.
