Soups & Stews

Three entries

Feijoada is Brazil's national dish, a slow-cooked black bean stew built on an assertive compango of preserved and cured meats. From that foundation, the chapter moves to the great stews of Bahia: a celebrated fish and shellfish moqueca cooked in coconut milk, dendê palm oil, and fresh aromatics, and a creamy shrimp stew in which cassava purée and coconut milk form the body of the sauce.
