I'm not even bothered that you didn't use the correct ingredients, it's more because that's not how you prepare this dish. It's originally made preferably in a clay pot (or an iron one if you don't have the first option) you also have to assemble the ingredients in the pot in layers, starting, on the botton of the pan, with the onions, peppers, diced tomatoes and lastly the fish (repeat procces until all ingredients are used. But, nevertheless, your version looks delicious and the Tolkien pun just killed me

I am Brazilian, and indeed, this is a adapted version, which is fine and actually amazing =)seems really good, and I would only potentially not at Paprika since this not what we usually add in Brazil, the rest. =D I love when our Brazilian dishes are recreated by other countries, it is this amazing mixture and remix of dishes that eventually might create the new Feijoada, the new Jambalaya, or all these dishes that were born out of cultural exchange.

I'd love to see your take on something from traditional Finnish cuisine like Karjalan piirakka (Karelian pasties which are rice pies with egg butter - my personal favorite Finnish speciality) or Karjalanpaisti (Karelian stew. Although the later is just beef and pork stew flavored with onions and allspice berries, not much to modify Or how about kalakukko, which is sort of like a shooter's sandwich but with vendance.

Sorry to say Chef Jon, but that has nothing to do with moqueca. Even if its in the middle of winter always use fresh tomatoes (even if they are horrible and flowery) and you MUST add palm oil to it, if not it will taste nothing like moqueca. If you want to try a new delicious brazilian dish, I would suggest Bobo de camarao, shrimp bobo, its a very thick cream/stew done with manioc, it is delicious.

Palm oil is touted as a panacea for everything ranging from a route out of poverty for small-scale farmers, a sustainable biofuel, and for its powerful nutritional virtues. However, palm oil plantations are linked to unsustainable deforestation throughout the world that aside from the obvious biosphere issues is reducing livable habitat for orangutans to the point that some are calling it genocide.

Something I can eat I'd love to see more vegetarian/ pescatarian recipes please, often it's difficult to replace the meat with vegitarian substitutions because they're often dramatically different in texture and cooking requirements. Also, Chef John you made me do it, I love eggs with Cayenne pepper on now, I can't go back to just salt and black pepper anymore.

I find it interesting that (subtract the weekday selection of fish) this seems to have a similar component to a lot of Thai cuisine. A mixture of salty, sweet, and spicy seem to have prevalent features in both cultures. A further point as to how food is one of the best ways to show just how similar we all are.

Chef John, would this recipe work with shrimp? I'm allergic to all fish, but can eat shrimp, lobster, crawfish, and crab. weird, right? I know. I hope you respond to my question because I really want to give this sauce a try but I can't do the sea bass. Thanks in advance.
