Sunita Shenoy's new favorite recipe adapted from NYT cooking https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018000-moqueca-brazilian-fish-stew
That is the the original recipe which has many variations. My version: I fry sliced garlic, white onions till translucent, then add slices red peppers followed by chopped root vegetables ( carrots, turnips or radishes, yam or sweet potato, sun chokes and/or celery roots). Add spices ( coriander cumin powder, big punch saffron, chili powder) fry for a 2-3 min, then add chopped tomatoes, herbs ( fresh cilantro including stems, fresh sage, dried oregano, bay leaf). Fry a bit then add one big can of coconut milk. Boil together till everything is cooked and infused. I add a cup of red wine and half a lemon ( both optional). Now add a mix of seafood and boil together. I use a big handful of each: shrimp, white fish such a halibut or cod fish, mussels. All my measurements are are “andaza” (approximation). You cannot go wrong with this simple stew even if your proportions of ingredients vary.
