Mojo Sauce

Mojo Sauce

Make this simple yet so freakin delicious sauce in a flash.. Really in 30-40 minutes being careful not to burn it. This mojo is amazing to put on cooked Roast Pork, Beans, Cuban Sandwich, Tostones and so much more. You can incorporate this with the Freakin Rican Sofrito.

Recipe ingredients

2-3 cups Canola oil
1 large lemon
1 cup fresh garlic, minced
½ tsp salt (or a little more)

Directions

  • Pulse the garlic in a chopper to mince it. Put minced garlic into a medium pot.
    Add the oil and the juice of a whole large lemon into the pot.
  • Put the pot on a back burner (a good idea when cooking oil) and turn the flame on low. Add the salt.
  • Cook for about 15 minutes. Then check how the garlic looks. At this point you wantto see the garlic turning a little light green.
  • Now lower the flame so that it almost goes out, and cook for another 15 minutes or so, and then check again. Keep an eye on it because you don’t want to burn the garlic!
  • When it is done, the garlic will be a nice golden brown, but not burned. The total cooking time should be between 30 – 40 minutes.
  • Now, spoon the garlic into a jar and pour the oil into the jar over the sink. Store it in the refrigerator.
  • It is best to heat the Mojo Sauce when you use it.

Enjoy!

My mojo came out delicious thank you Many Blessings 🙏🙏

Love the way you cook i try doing your soup before when i started to follow you on YouTube and love it i can wait until i go over to your restaurant also i will be trying your products.

I love your channel and your delicious food! You are kind, funny, and so relatable.
Also, you are an excellent teacher. I can’t wait for all this Covid stuff to be over so
I can take a trip to your restaurant. Would you consider shipping some of your other
menu items such as alcapurrias, ensalada de pulpo, rellenos, sancocho, etc?
I just placed a pasteles gift basket order for my birthday and look forward to receiving
it in Mid January.
Thank you so much for keeping Puerto Rican food traditions alive and accessible to all.
Did your mom ever make cornmeal and fish broth for you? It is like grits with a little of the broth
poured over it. Also, do you have a good avena recipe? You should consider writing a cookbook.

Stay healthy during these trying times.
Best,
Ivette
