TOSTONES WITH GARLIC MOJO DIPPING SAUCE

Crispy twice-fried plantains are a staple throughout many Latin American countries, including Puerto Rico, where my family is from. They're eaten at just about any time of day and in many ways-as a side dish along with entrees like pork or fish, as the base for savory party canapes or even as a salty late-night bar snack with a variety of dipping sauces. Here we serve them with garlic mojo (from the Spanish word "mojar" which means "to wet")-a tangy and spicy condiment made with fresh citrus juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs. Mojo is typically made with sour orange juice from Seville oranges, but as those aren't readily available you can use a mix of lime and regular orange juice to approximate the flavor.

Steps:

  • For the mojo: Finely mince or use a rasp grater to grate the garlic into a small bowl or the base of a mortar and pestle. Add the salt and pepper and use a fork or the pestle to mash into a paste. Strip the oregano and cilantro leaves off the stems and add them to the bowl, mashing them into the paste. Whisk in the sour orange juice or equal parts lime and orange juice and the olive oil. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Set aside while you prepare the tostones.
  • For the tostones: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven until it reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • While the oil heats, peel the plantains and cut on the bias into 2-inch-thick pieces.
  • Fry the plantains in batches until crisp and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper-towel-lined baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining plantains.
  • Move the pot the off the heat (do not discard the oil).
  • Line a cutting board with parchment paper and gather a flat-bottomed glass and small bowl of water. Place a fried plantain on the parchment paper, dip the bottom of the glass in the water and use it to smash the plantain to about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with the rest of the plantains.
  • Put the oil on the heat again and bring it back up to 325 degrees F. Fry the smashed plantains in batches until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and serve hot with the garlic mojo dipping sauce.

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more if needed

1/2 cup sour orange (Seville orange) juice or 1/4 cup lime juice plus 1/4 cup fresh orange juice

Yucca with Garlic Sauce: Yucca con Mojo image

Steps:

  • Place the yucca in a large 6-quart pot. Cover with 5 quarts cold water. Add the salt and bring to boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium and cook covered until it feels tender when pierced with a fork but still keeps its shape, about 30 minutes. Be careful not to overcook because yucca can turn into a gooey paste. Turn the heat to low and leave the yucca in the hot water until ready to serve.
  • For The Mojo Sauce: While the yucca cooks, prepare the mojo sauce. Heat the olive oil until fragrant in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion rings until lightly golden. Add the garlic and the cumin and saute, stirring for a few seconds, until golden. Pour in the bitter orange juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Very quickly, drain the yucca in a large colander and transfer to a decorative serving platter. Cover with the mojo sauce and serve piping hot.
  • In Cuba and the Hispanic Caribbean, yucca con mojo is served alongside rice and beans and roast pork

6 pounds whole yucca (fresh or frozen), peeled and cut into 3-inch sections (about 5 pounds trimmed weight or 5 pounds frozen chunks)
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 small Spanish onions, sliced into thin rings
12 cloves garlic, finely minced or mashed to a paste with mortar and pestle
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup bitter orange juice or a mixture of lime juice and orange juice (reduce amount if a less tart taste is desired)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

MOJO PICON (GARLIC SAUCE)

This dish comes from the Canary Islands. It is a staple there, and goes with just about everything! Try it with "papas arrugadas" (small boiled potatoes with salt and lemon) for a Canary Island specialty! Delicious! It keeps well in the refrigerator, and is even better after a day or two. Serve at room temperature.

MOJO GARLIC RESTAURANT SAUCE

I have in the past gone to the Dominican and Cuban area in upper Manhattan (NYC) and have eaten Cubano Sandwiches... especially from the Mambi Restaurants. However, they do not make the original Mojo Garlic Sauce any longer (as far as I know, perhaps due to the turnover of restaurant chefs) which was great! So I have tried (for a long time) to duplicate the original Mojo recipe (but with difficulty). However, here is my version of this tasty Mojo Sauce for Cubano Sandwiches!

Mojo Garlic Restaurant Sauce image

Steps:

  • Place garlic, salt, oregano, (optional cumin, black pepper and Adobo seasoning) into a wooden mortar & pestle and make into almost a paste, set aside.
  • Combine in a separate bowl; lime juice (or sour orange juice), vinegar, set aside.
  • In a frying pan add the olive oil and add the garlic paste, stir and cook briefly (1/2-1 minute).
  • Next add the liquid ingredients, stir and cook briefly (1 minute), then remove (do not overcook) and let cool.
  • NOTES:.
  • This recipe is basically a Dominican/Cuban sauce and adopted from the Mambi Restaurants in New York City.
  • This Mojo Sauce recipe will turn a bright "off color" green due to the fresh garlic in the recipe.
  • You can make a variation of this recipe by adding mayonnaise to taste, however, it is not a traditional ingredient in Cubano Sandwiches. Also, adding butter is an optional ingredient --
  • Mojo Sauce is great on a Cubano Sandwich: Cuban bread (substitute Italian/French Bread) with sliced fresh pork, sliced pink ham, white cheese, sour pickle, butter and Mojo Sauce. Heat/pressing the sandwich on a hot grill is preferred... however, Cubano sandwiches are also good cold. Further, I often substitute chicken for the white fresh pork....
  • In Cuba,Mojo Sauce is traditionally made with the fresh juice from sour oranges.
  • Mojo Sauce is also good on Yuka (Cassava) or Green Plantains as well.
  • The Puerto Rican Mojo Sauce is white in color and with less spices used.
