'Mojo de Ajo' means 'garlic gravy' and this 'gravy' is a real treat. Mix with some pasta or brush it on grilled shrimp. The possibilities are endless. Ingredients:
6 dried chipotle chili pepper |
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
1 1/2 cups chopped garlic |
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste |
Directions:
1. Place the chipotles in a bowl and cover with very hot water. Allow to soak for 3 minutes; drain. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and discard. Cut the peppers into thin strips.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over low heat. Cook the garlic in the oil until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the peppers and the lime juice; simmer 5 minutes; season with the salt. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow to cool. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
