Brazilian fish stew

Brazilian cod fish stew

Fish Stews can be so boring but not a BRAZILIAN Fish Stew!! With a fragrant tomato coconut sauce with a fresh hit of lime, this is such a different delicious way to serve up fish. When I think of South American food, I immediately have visions of rib-eye steaks and giant meat skewers. Because of the strong association of South American food, I thought sharing this traditional Brazilian fish stew would be nice for something a bit different!

It tastes like a mild version of Thai Red Curry – and requires a whole lot fewer ingredients to make! The flavour of the sauce is slightly more refreshing and not quite as rich. While the flavour isn’t as intense, it doesn’t mean that it’s not as tasty! You will be amazing at the flavour you get from the relatively short list of ingredients. The key to this recipe is searing the fish first, and letting the sauce simmer down.
