Mojo De Ajo

garlic (minced)

arbol chiles

black peppercorns

½ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano

extra virgin olive oil

orange, juiced.

plum tomato (diced)

Mince the garlic and set aside.

Remove the stems from the árbol chiles and gently roll the chiles between your fingers to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds.

Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add the black peppercorns, oregano, and chiles; toast, shaking the pan, until fragrant, about 15 seconds.

Remove from the heat, transfer to a spice grinder, and grind to a fine powder. Or use a mortar and pestle to grind them.

Set a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil and garlic. Cook until the garlic begins to turn slight golden, stirring often to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

Add the orange juice and tomato, followed by the ground spices and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the tomato has softened and cooked throughly, about 2 minutes.

Remove the mixture from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use.

Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Makes about 1 ½ cups.

I've never tried this one before. It definitely looks like the mojo I should make over the weekend though!

We loved this versatile sauce and have enjoyed it on many different things, from eggs to steak.  Will be keeping a jar at the ready!

I've not heard of this before but it sounds really delicious.

OMG. This was absolutely incredible. We added it to some baked chicken breasts last night - I can't even remember what life was like before it. SO GOOD.

I absolutely love this recipe! I wasn't familiar with Mojo de Ago, but now that I've made a batch I drizzle it on everything! I love discovering so many new delicious flavors on your site.

That is divine! Who knew oranges and garlic could work so well together? We used it on baked salmon and it was fabulous!

This is one of my favorite condiments to keep in the house.  Delicious and perfect for so many dishes - we had it with our salmon last night.

I'm a sucker for homemade sauces, but this is one of my new favorites! Easy to make and tastes great on so many things!

Absolutely delicious! I had it on some grilled sea bass and it was just wonderful.
