Well, it's a traditional dish called Moqueca and it's very popular here in Brazil.(2) Moqueca is a spicy seafood dish with fish, onions, tomatoes, peppers,chilies, garlic and herbs. It's very easy to make. First, we chop the vegetables and fry them with the garlic and herbs. Then, we add the fish and boil everything slowly for about five minutes. We usually serve this stew with rice. This is a very tasty dish! Hope you can try it one day!(3) How about you?
