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.

This Mojo Sheet Pan Chicken is the perfect weeknight meal. Juicy chicken is roasted on a sheet pan with orange and lime slices, onions and green olives. Made with minimal ingredients this easy chicken recipe is filled with bright and savory Mojo flavor! Make it a meal by serving rice or Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes for dinner!

Mojo Sheet Pan Chicken

garlic

sea salt

lime juice (from about 4 limes)

orange juice (from about 1 orange)

orange

lime

green olives

In a mortar and pestle, add the garlic and salt. Using the pestle, crush and twist the garlic until it&#x27;s smashed. Add the oregano and give it a good mix.

In a medium bowl or resealable plastic bag (like a Ziplock), add the crushed garlic, olive oil, lime juice and orange juice. Use a fork to mix it around.

Sprinkle the chicken with a few pinches of salt and pepper and then transfer the chicken pieces to the resealable plastic bag. Seal up the bag and then give it a good shake so the pieces are all coated in the mojo mixture.

Transfer to the fridge to marinate for 3 hours, ideally overnight, but realistically I know that won’t always happen. Even marinated for 30 minutes is delicious! Marinate for however long works.

To Make the Mojo:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. On a clean baking sheet, add the onion, slices or orange and lime, green olives and lastly, the marinated chicken, along with the marinade. Transfer to the oven to bake until chicken is cooked and skin is crispy, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Serve with rice, tostones and/or black beans. YUM!

When You’re Ready to Bake the Chicken:

Thank you so much for the recipe!!! It was SO DELICIOUS! Everyone loves it &lt;3 It&#039;s perfect for my meal prep menu! I probably will make this every week since we have orange and lime trees in our backyard LOL

i made the mojo chicken once and loved it! what if i wanted to do it in the slow cooker instead? any suggestions?

This cooking in my oven, now! ñom ñom !!!
