Ive never cooked Brazillian Fish Stew! Recipe please?
Katie, it's quick and easy - very flavoursome. I didn't use prawns in the one above but usually do. Here's the guff via the SBS site:
5 medallions of white fish (eg. snapper) or 1 kg of prawns
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 red capsicum, sliced
5 tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp grated ginger
400ml coconut milk
5 chillies, chopped
1 cup fish or vegetable stock
Juice of 2 limes
120ml dend oil (optional)
1 bunch of spring onions, finely sliced
1 bunch of coriander, chopped
Pirao
2 cups of fish stock
2 tbsp butter
2 cups semolina
Seasoning
Marinate the fish in the lemon juice with one clove of garlic and seasoning for at least half an hour.
Saut the onion, garlic, ginger, chillies, red capsicum and tomatoes, until a sauce is formed. Pour over stock & coconut milk.
Add the fish, season with rock salt and simmer gently until cooked. If using a combination of white fish and prawns, add prawns later as they require less time to cook through.
Stir through chopped coriander.
Place in serving dish and squeeze over lime juice and sprinkle with spring onions and extra coriander leaves.
Drizzle over dend oil.
Serve with rice and pirao.
Pirao
Bring the stock to the boil
Add the butter and the semolina slowly, mixing well.
Cook on slow heat till desired consistency, season and serve with moqueca.
Cheers - Mike
