Moqueca is a fish stew with Indigenous, African and Portuguese roots. The word is linked to Kimbundu and Tupi terms, Indigenous cooks wrapped fish and cooked it slowly, and enslaved Africans added dendê (palm) oil, which defines Bahian moqueca along with coconut milk, malagueta pepper and coriander.
Dendê palm arrived in Bahia early in the colonial period, though historians disagree about whether it was brought by colonists for commercial use or by Africans carrying seeds themselves; by the 1600s European naturalists recorded groves of it in Bahia. That is why the dish tastes different from moquecas cooked elsewhere in Brazil.
Starting at a local market shows where the peppers, fish and oil come from before you cook, so the class links ingredients to the city's African and Indigenous history rather than being a recipe demonstration alone.
