Description
Explore the diversity of Brazilian cuisine with a trip to the coast. Cook along with Tiago to make an iconic seafood stew, paired with fluffy rice. You’ll practice your knife skills, build a sofrito soup base and get up to speed on stewing seafood as you prepare Moqueca Baiana (Brazilian Shrimp and Coconut Stew). Traditionally cooked in a clay pot, this soup brings together Portuguese and African influences, using coconut milk and dende, a thick palm oil which provides its signature taste and color. Tiago will also guide you in cooking up Brazilian rice, the ideal side for Moqueca.
With seafood; no dairy, eggs or gluten.
