Special Thanks to Pitmaster Andrew Plaza from Double Aces BBQ for sharing several unique game-day recipes that will help everyone enjoy the FIFA Club Cup soccer events this June.
June brings us international football and, of course, my love of blending food!
From Brazil, Moqueca is a fish stew that’s rich with coconut milk, garlic, onions, lime, and cilantro. Every spoonful feels like a celebration of Brazil’s coastal beauty and their free-flowing, joyful style of play. It’s warm, vibrant, and comforting—just like the Brazilian fans who live and breathe the game.
