Mojo De Ajo Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 olive oil, 1/4 cup of butter, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a blender; blend until marinade is smooth.
• Place squid and prawns into a bowl, pour in marinade, and stir until well coated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook chile until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add squid and shrimp; cook and stir until evenly browned, 10 to 15 minutes per side.

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in deep saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant and pale golden brown. Do not let brown too much, or else garlic will become bitter.
• Stir in sour orange juice (or lime juice and grapefruit juice), water, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Stand back, because the sauce may spatter. Bring to rolling boil. Correct the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper, if needed. Let cool to room temperature, and then stir in cilantro or parsley. Store in bottle or jar with tight-fitting lid; shake well before serving. Serve with grilled pork, chicken, seafood and vegetables.
