## About
"MOQUECA is a typical dish from the states of Bahia and Espírito Santo that incorporates Brazilian native Indian, African and Portuguese cookery. MOQUECA is type of seafood ragout or stew made of any combination of fish and shellfish. The name of this dish is derived from the Indian word – POKEKAS – dishes  wrapped in banana leaves and cooked over charcoal. Africans brought over to Brazil as slaves and working as cooks in the kitchen of the Big House sugar plantation, modified the indigenous dishes."
