Brazilian Stews at Muqueca (Cambridge, MA)
Boston may not have as much diversity as Los Angeles, but when it comes to Brazilian food, Boston has more. Just three blocks away from my new place is Muqueca, a Brazilian restaurants specializing in the namesake seafood stew. Muqueca is a Brazilian style seafood stew from Espirito Santo or Bahia, cooked in clay pots.
The ones at Muqueca are typically the Espirito Santo style, made with cilantro, tomato, onion and served with rice and pirao. But they will also do the Bahian style which uses coconut milk.
We tried both styles in the Moqueca Completa (fish, shrimp, mussel. $25.95)
What I ended up loving at this place was actually the Dobradinha (tripe stew with white beans, bacon, sausage, $13.95)
