Ingredients
Directions
- In a shallow dish, combine the fish pieces, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat, then set aside to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the garlic, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pot. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice and the coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the marinated fish pieces to the pot, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Taste the moqueca and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Stir in half of the chopped cilantro.
- Serve the moqueca hot, garnished with the remaining cilantro and accompanied by steamed rice or crusty bread.
