Moqueca Brazilian Cuisine serves the most appreciated dishes from Brazil especially Moqueca, the most famous dish from Vitoria, ES, the homeland of its owners.
The Moqueca
Moqueca is one of the most appreciated dishes in Brazil. It is known for its unique way of cooking and serving. The preparation consists in using a clay pot to cook the seafood and vegetables with no addition of water. The ingredients include seafood, onions, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, olive oil and "urucum".
Clay Pots
The clay pot produced in Vitoria, ES, is one of the most expressive parts of the State's popular culture. Originally manufactured by the Indian tribes from the coast, they are still made by the "paneleiras" (the pot making women who live close to the mangrove swamps)
The Yucca
Yucca is an edible root extraordinary important in all Brazilian Cuisine, traditionally used by the Indians. Usualy consumed cooked or fried, also used to make the yucca flour. One famous recipe using the yucca flour is the farofa" (filed yucca flour with bacon, eggs and other ingredients). It's also used to thicken soups, sauces and as a starch. The pirao served as a side dish with Moqueca is cooked in the clay pot using yucca flour and seafood broth.
The Urucum
"Urucum" is the name of a Brazilian prickly red fruit. The dark red seeds of Urucum are used to make the 'Coloral", a traditional powder used as coloring and seasoning. The "Urucum" is rich in protein, iron, calcium and vitamins. It's also responsible for the exotic color and rich taste of the Moquecas.
