NO MORE WIRE HANGAHS!
Well Whims,
I've encountered dozens of recipes for mojo sauce, but I never seem to be able to locate them when I actually want to make it.
Here's what I did last night:
Finely chopped one scallion
Thinly sliced three cloves of garlic
Sauteed the above on medium-low heat in about 1/4 cup of olive oil.
When the garlic is lightly browned and the scallion nearly burnt (oh yeah, you should start the scallion first at higher heat, then add the garlic after a few minutes, and reduce heat. scorched scallion is tasty. scorched garlic is not.)
Off the heat, whisk in 1/8-1/4 cup of citrus juice to taste. (I used equal parts lemon and lime, though a mixture of orange and lime is my favorite. The "real thing" calls for something called a sour orange, but I've never seen a sour orange.)
Add salt.
If the mixture is too acidic, I like to mellow things a bit with a couple teaspoons of honey. This is highly unorthodox, but delicious.
Pour over fried fish.
Yum.
Oh yeah, before you serve, tear some cilantro sprigs over the whole mess.
Hugs,
Tony
Mojo sauce is great. GOYA's 'Mojo Criollo' is actually a very good one that you could use in perfecting your own recipe--though I have to admit that yours already sounds quite good.
T-Rob,
Is mojo related to a mojito?

I thought mojo sauce was slang for semen. As in: I sprayed my mojo sauce all over her face.
