Moqueca (IPA: [moˈkɛkɐ] or IPA: [muˈkɛkɐ] depending on the dialect, also spelled muqueca) is a Brazilian seafood stew. Moqueca is typically made with shrimp or fish in a base of tomatoes, onions, garlic, lime and coriander; in some versions palm oil or coconut milk are used.[1]
Etymology
The name moqueca comes from the term mu'keka in Kimbundu language (Angola dialect).[citation needed]
Ingredients
Bahia
Moqueca baiana was developed in the state of Bahia, Brazil. It was further influenced by African and Portuguese cuisines by adding dendê palm oil, coconut milk, and peppers.[2] Traditional ingredients remain the same with the dish typically garnished with chopped coriander, then served with rice and farofa.[3]

Moqueca capixaba is native to the state of Espírito Santo. It is a combination of Brazilian and Portuguese cuisine. It is considered a softer and lighter version of moqueca. Lighter oils, such as extra-virgin olive oil, are used instead of palm oil (as in the Bahian version).[1] Peppers are generally not included.[1]
Urucum pigment is added, and it is always cooked in a traditional clay pan. Moqueca capixaba can be made with fish, shrimp, crabs, sea crab or lobsters.
Preparation and serving
The full meal set includes banana da terra (plantain) stew as a side dish as well as pirão and white rice - each one in its own clay pan. The dish is usually seasoned with onion, tomatoes, coriander, and chives. It is usually accompanied by pirão,[4] which is the paste made with cassava root flour ("farinha de mandioca") and the gravy from the stew.
Capixaba pans, specially panelas de barro, are made with black clay and glazed with mangrove tree sap. After being shaped and fired, sap is re-applied. This blackens the clay and makes it water resistant. The pan must be seasoned with oil a couple of times before use.
These cassole pans are very important to Vitória, and the city is home to a grassroots organization of pan-makers known as Associação das Paneleiras de Goiabeiras.[5]
Angola
The dish is also known in Angola; Angolan moqueca is similar to the Bahian version and typically includes palm oil, coconut milk, and/or peppers.[1]
In popular culture
- Moqueca was featured on the Netflix TV series, Street Food volume 2, which focused on Latin American street foods.[6]
