Moqueca (Brazilian Fish Stew)

Bring a large pot top medium heat and add the coconut oil and olive oil. once melted, add the chopped onion and jalapeño and saute for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the sliced bell peppers and continue sautéing for another 2-3 minutes.

Add the chopped garlic, paprika and cayenne and continue sautéing for another 1-2 minutes, so the garlic softens and the spices deepen in color.

Add chopped tomatoes with their juices and stir everything together and cooking for another 2-3 minutes so the tomatoes can release their juices and soften.

Use paper towels to pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper and lay the fish on top of the vegetables.

Pour the coconut milk and seafood stock into the pot and add the lime zest and season with salt and pepper. Gently stir the liquid a bit with a spoon, being careful not to disrupt the fish.

Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a small opening for liquid to evaporate and bring to a simmer. Cook the moqueca for 10-15 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and soup has reduced slightly.

Once done, remove moqueca from the heat and taste for seasoning. Serve moqueca on top of cooked jasmine rice and garnish with green onions and lime wedges.

Brazilian Rice

Bring a small pot to medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and saute until lightly caramelized, about 3-5 minute.

Add the jasmine rice and saute so all of the rice is coated with the infused oil.

Pour in the vegetable stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring the rice to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid. Continue cooking the rice for about 20 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated.

Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and serve with moqueca.
