Brazilian Fish Stew

Brazilian Fish Stew

“My interpretation of Brazilian seafood stew (or moqueca) uses just fish, so I’m calling it the weeknight version. It’s ready to serve in less than 30 minutes.”

Ingredients:

2 cups water
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 tablespoon olive oil1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

1 red or yellow bell pepper, halved and thinly sliced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped green onion1
1/2 pounds sea bass fillets, cut into chunks1 pinch salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Directions:

  1. Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir just until onions start to get soft, 3 or 4 minutes. Add tomato paste, garlic, paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Continue cooking about 3 minutes. Pour in coconut milk and add soy sauce. When mixture starts to bubble, let it simmer about 5 minutes.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, and green onions. Let mixture come back to a simmer. Transfer fish to skillet; stir. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until fish starts to flake, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add salt, cilantro, and lime juice; stir carefully to avoid breaking up the fish. Serve with rice.
