The comfort food you never knew you needed. Welcome to Brazil.
Treat Day: Mu’keka Brazilian Fish Stew
Description
There's no denying that fish and seafood provides a tasty way to get your protein. But dressing it up in the pan can get a bit tiresome. We present this lovely soup from Brazil for a change. The light coconut milk makes this a treat day food. But the towering protein count makes this an uber-healthful indulgence.
The processed onion provides a fresh texture and flavor for the peppers and seafood to bloom. The end flavor is mild and warming. Perfect for fall and winter. Spice it up with hot sauce if desired.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Toss shrimp and cod with garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Process onion, tomatoes and their juice, and ¼ cup cilantro in a food processor until finely chopped and mixture has texture of pureed salsa, about 30 seconds.
-
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add red and green bell peppers and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion-tomato mixture and ½ teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until puree has reduced and thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Increase heat to high, stir in coconut milk, and bring to a boil (mixture should be bubbling across the entire surface). Add seafood mixture and lime juice and stir to evenly distribute seafood, making sure all pieces are submerged in liquid. Cover pot and remove from heat. Let stand until shrimp and cod are opaque and just cooked through, 15 minutes.
-
Gently stir in remaining ½ cup cilantro, being careful not to break up cod too much. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with Shirataki noodles.
