Some time ago, my friend, Electric Firefly lamented
about losing her mojo. Well here I am, just minding
my own business when I found it! Although she would
probably prefer I hadn't found it for a few more months.
Mojo
A Seasoning Sauce recipe from Cuban Home Cooking by Jane Cossio.
3 tbs pure Spanish olive oil, heated
2 tbs finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp ground oregano
1/4 tsp cumin
Dash ground bay leaves
Dash black pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1 tbs orange juice
1 tbs lime juice
2 tbs water
1 tbs Sherry
1/2 tsp vinegar
Mix the onion and garlic, along with the spices, salt and pepper in a bowl, and then add to a pan with the heated olive oil. Cook just until the onion becomes translucent and then add juice, water, wine and vinegar and simmer about 5 minutes. Allow the Mojo to cool slightly before serving.
Yields 1/2 cup
I am assuming that this would be great added to beans and rice or stew or used anywhere you would normally use a hotsauce at the table or as a topper for baked fish or chicken or even a marinade for pork and beef.
