Hi guys, Jamie here and I hope you're all really well
we have launched a Brazilian Food Tube channel Whooooo!
how cool is that
to kick things off we gonna cook which someone very very special
introducing the one and only
SANTOS!!!
*Cheers!*
ok, this is one of my best friends, this is Santos. We have cooked together for...
twenty years, more than twenty years
and we have done everything together
and this is my Brazilian mate. He's a butcher, a fishmonger great it a great cook
but today we are celebrating one of his mummy's
great dishes! What's this dish called?
Moqueca
and it's a kind of stew, a bake?
it's stew like a fish stew and then it is very traditional
So this is really exciting! Now you talk in Portuguese, I'll translate and let's just cook, let's cook
So shall we start here, we've got all these beautiful fresh fish... Look at that
Yes, we have a big variety of fish
Where do we start brother?
First we need to start with the fish We need to prepare them
Prawns
This dish can be made with one fish, two fish, three fish
with a mix or just prawns use any kind of fish you want
Lemon Sole
it's a very delicate fish
Scallops
Red mullet
Halibut
Halibut on the bone
I'm going to remove it from the bone because it is not going to cook at the same time
this is squid, I've sliced it up
Fresh Cod
I've got some fresh cod same thickness Santos?
Yes please
So Santos has told me to cut everything roughly the same thickness because it's going to be a layer
So come and look at this, just look at the colours. So beautiful
the cod *gasp*
wow, this is gonna be good, this is going to be so good.
Me and Santos you know...
We'll be working in the kitchen and it will be a bit boring sometimes it is a bit boring, a bit repetitive
And then I'll be like Santos!
*Samba Drumming
This is what we do!
Jamie is seasoning the fish with lemon juice, salt and pepper
Let it rest for around 10 minutes.
Meanwhile we are going to cut the vegetables
As you can see here we are going to slice the vegetables
Just under one centimeter thick
Fantastic
Ok, that thick
because I don't want to upset him because he is the boss
How do you say boss in Portuguese?
Patron
Cut thick slices so you can layer them
So we put onions
Nice little layer of onions
Peppers
Tomatoes
I'll let you do the fish
Leave the prawns
and put it in the top for us to make it look nice
This is so exciting
Little bit of chilli Yeh, don't forget the chilli
Now what about this? Urucum
It's kinda like paprika a little bit...now
How much? A teaspoon?
Yes...that's fine
Mussels
Clams
Prawns
Yep Coconut milk
two tins
Good
Now we are going to cook it at a medium temperature
cover the pan and cook for roughly 20 minutes
And we finish it with a little coriander on top Fantastic!
So really simple, cold pan, turn the heat on bring it to just below a boil
and then turn it down to a medium heat
and we finish with a little coriander
So we'll let that cook for 20 minutes We'll serve it up with rice, and this... is going to be good
And then it is Cachaça time! Whoooo!
That's had about 20 minutes
Ahh, look at that!
Come on... and it has been gentle
and the fish has been overcooked come here, let me just... ahhh
So this rice is just regular basmati rice, cooked with some salt, and coconut cream
This is what life is all about Exactly
Moqueca
Cachaça
Santos And good friends
