Brazilian gastronomy: La Moqueca

As the Feijoada, Moqueca It is a typical dish of Brazil, and really very tasty, especially if it is consumed on the shores of the Atlantic, with fresh seafood and fish. The Moqueca It is a dish based on fish, onions, chili, pepper, malagueta pepper, tomato, among others, and cooked with palm oil and coconut milk.

Its cooking must be slow, without the addition of water. It is a strong dish that can be served with or without spicy. Its origin dates back to the indigenous people, who cooked the Moqueca and decorated it with various leaves. In addition, despite the fact that most assure that it is of Bahian origin (San Salvador of Bahia), today there are two variants of the Moqueca: on the one hand, the bahiana (logically from the state in the northeast region) and the capixaba (from Holy Spirit, state to the southeast of Brazil).

Both are very tasty and to this day the recipe is disputed. Of course, do not look Moqueca roasted, as it has nothing to do with that type of cooking. The historical archives of Brazil say that as early as 1554 moqueca was mentioned as food, although in this case, the place of origin was not mentioned.
