Mojo Rojo o Picón

(Red or Spicy Mojo)

Ingredients:

• 1 bulb of garlic
• 2 hot peppers
• 1 teaspoon of cumin grains
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• 4 spoons of vinegar
• 15 spoons of olive oil
• cooking salt to taste.

Method:

1. Peel and chop up the garlic cloves. Grind them in a mortar along with the cumin grains, the peppers with the seeds removed, and the cooking salt until they bind into a soft paste.
2. Add the paprika, and then slowly add the oil and vinegar while you stir it all into a thick paste.
3. This paste can be diluted to taste by using a small cup of water.
   This sauce can be kept in good condition for several months in the fridge.
   You can also make a not so spicy, milder sauce by using sweet peppers instead of hot peppers.
