“Mojo” is safe

Friday, December 29th, 2006
Almost two months, after implanting new security measures for all european airports on november 6th, consisting one of them, not being able to carry liquids on board, there is already an exception. Our famous "mojo-sauce" is now free of any restriction after representants of manufacturers of our most known sauce appealed to the justice ministry and won the judgement. The canarian "mojo-sauce" can now be taken on board. That is really cool, hahahaha :D   Wouldn't have thought that possible.

“Chefs” listen up! – Green “mojo”

Thursday, December 21st, 2006
Here you go, another easy recipe, this time of the most commonly used sauce on canarian food. Since you can spice up almost evey meal with this sauce, i think it'll be appropriate to let you know this tasty sauce before i let you know ther meals. Normally it's given to you in a restaurant when you order fresh fish but certainly you can try it out on ribs, steak or any other kind of meat. Ingredients: Fresh coriander, garlic, cooking salt, red hot chili-peppers, white wine, oil and vinegar. Preparation: - First we'll need to pound a bundle of fresh, well chopped coriander with a handful of salt and a few garlic cloves (the more you put in, the spicier the sauce would be; though it should never outbalance the flavour of the coriander). - Pound everything very well ,add some chopped peppers and keep pounding. - After that add a good spurt of oil and ...

“Mojo picón” – our famous mojo-sauce

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006
Like i said, here is the recipe of the most typical sauce made on the canary islands. Since today is the day of "Santa Lucía" and i already posted the recipe of the "Papas arrugadas", i think i'll be appropriate to let you know this saucy treasure of ours. Ingredients: Garlic, cooking salt, red hot chili peppers (not the band :D), crumb, caraway, oil and vinegar. Preparation: - First we need to pound half a dozen garlic cloves with two fingers of salt (cooking salt) and half a tea-spoon of caraway until we get a homogeneous paste. - Then we add a few chopped peppers (the more you put in, the hotter the sauce will get) and we continue pounding untill everything is even again. - After that we add a piece of crumb (not big) that we've had in vinegar before. (Though, there are some cooks that leave the step of putting the ...
