Moqueca (Brazil)

The Fifa World Cup 2022 is almost upon us, and soon, pubs will be full with hopefully Brits, hungry for more than just football. Taking place in Qatar, from November 21st - December 18th, the Fifa World Cup unites nations from all over the world, which leaves open a whole host of opportunities for venues to really capitalise on the events… with a themed menu. So we’ve put together 10 recipes, taking influence from countries like France, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Australia, Morocco, and of course Qatar, for you to take inspiration from and serve up a side of something special while your guests watch the games.
