Dalgano - Brazilian Food | Brazilians call this dish Moqueca (pronounced "mo-KEY-ca") and it can vary slightly from region to region. This version comes from Salvador, a bustling city on the Brazilian coast, just north of Rio de Janeiro that offers delicious seafood prepared using African influences and techniques.
