Funzionalità Premium
Moqueca Capixaba offers a delicate and balanced flavor profile, combining the sweetness of seafood with the subtle heat of annatto and peppers, all enriched by the creamy coconut milk. It's a savory and subtly sweet experience.
The dominant flavor comes from the fresh seafood, typically a combination of firm white fish (like sea bass or grouper) and shrimp. Annatto seeds (urucum) provide a subtle earthy flavor and vibrant orange color. Onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers contribute sweetness and freshness. Cilantro adds a bright, herbal note. Coconut milk imparts richness and sweetness, creating a creamy and comforting broth. Malagueta peppers offer a subtle kick of heat. The absence of dendê oil, which is used in Moqueca Baiana, makes Capixaba moqueca milder and lighter.

Freshness is Key
Use the freshest seafood available. The quality of the fish and shrimp will significantly impact the final flavor of the dish.
Layering the Flavors
Build the moqueca in layers, starting with the vegetables and gradually adding the seafood and coconut milk. This helps to distribute the flavors evenly.
Gentle Cooking
Cook the moqueca over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together without overcooking the seafood. Avoid stirring too vigorously to prevent the fish from breaking apart.
Urucum Seeds/Annatto
Annatto seeds or powder is used to give the stew its distinctive color, but don't overdo it. You can infuse oil with the seeds for better control of color and flavor. Start with a small amount.
