For a richer flavor, try using red palm oil (dende oil) in place of olive oil. It's a staple in Brazilian cuisine. Feel free to add other vegetables to the stew, such as potatoes, zucchini, or okra. Adjust the cooking time accordingly. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat to the stew. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with fresh parsley, but the flavor will be slightly different. This stew is even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together.

Jan 1, 2025I was a little hesitant to try this because I'm not a huge fan of fish, but I was pleasantly surprised! The spices and coconut milk really balance out the fish flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

Apr 7, 2024I made this last night and it was a huge hit! I used cod instead of tilapia and it worked perfectly. The coconut milk makes it so creamy and delicious.
