Mojo Rojo
Mojo Rojo o Picón
Ingredients:
1 bulb of garlic, 2 hot peppers, 1 teaspoon of cumin grains, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 4 spoons of vinegar, 15 spoons of olive oil and cooking salt to taste.
Method:
1. Peel and chop up the garlic cloves. Grind them in a mortar along with the cumin grains, the peppers with the seeds removed, and the cooking salt until they bind into a soft paste.
2. Add the paprika, and then slowly add the oil and vinegar while you stir it all into a thick paste.
3. This paste can be diluted to taste by using a small cup of water.
This sauce can be kept in good condition for several months in the fridge.
You can also make a not so spicy, milder sauce by using sweet peppers instead of hot peppers.
