Our First Salvador Meal, Moqueca

Moqueca is a local seafood stew. A perfect gastronomical fusion of Indigenous, African, and Portuguese influences.

Options are prawns and seafood, fish, or a mixed version, with veggies, spices and coconut milk. Perhaps the secret is the Dende palm oil, described as bringing a nutty flavour?

Or maybe the secret is not in the ingredients. Perhaps if we are ever going to authentically reproduce it we might need to get a genuine Salvador hand made clay pot.
