1
Cook the rice
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1½ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, start preparing the rest of the meal.
2
Prep the vegetables and lime
3
Make the tomato salsa
In a medium bowl, stir together the finely chopped onion, green parts of the scallions, half the tomato, 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] garlic, and lime zest and juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.
4
Prep the seafood; cook the moqueca
Sole or halibut:
Shrimp:
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the thinly sliced onion and white part of the scallions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining garlic, then using a spatula, move the onion, scallions, and garlic to one side of the pan.
Add the seafood to the empty side of the pan and cook, turning once, until the seafood is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes for shrimp, 3 to 4 minutes for sole, and 6 to 8 minutes for halibut. Add the chipotle-cashew sauce base, coconut milk, and remaining tomato, then stir in the onion mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened slightly and the seafood is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the rice to individual bowls and spoon over the moqueca. Top with the tomato salsa and serve with the lime wedges.
