Creole Garlic Sauce - Mojo
Criollo
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients:
4 or 5
garlic cloves
Juice of
1 lime
1
teaspoon salt
¼
teaspoon mustard
¼
teaspoon cumin
½ cup of
pure Spanish olive oil (not light)
1/8
teaspoon ground cloves
1 small
onion, chopped
Directions:
• Mash the
garlic cloves in a mortar or with the flat of a large knife on a board with
the salt, cumin and cloves to make a paste.
• In a
medium sized pan, mix the garlic/seasoning paste with the onions and the
lime juice.
• Just
before serving, heat the oil over medium-high heat, in another pan, until
very hot. Add this to the mixture in the first pan very quickly and
carefully because it spatters.
• Serve
immediately. It may be reheated by simmering gently for 5 or 6 minutes until
hot again. Appetizers
