Red Onion Mojo Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until tender and translucent but not brown, about 10 minutes. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over medium heat before continuing.).
• Add lime juice to onions and simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove onions from heat. Stir in cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine first 9 ingredients in blender. Purée until marinade is almost smooth. Arrange steaks in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour marinade over. Cover dish tightly with foil. Roast in oven 1 hour. Remove dish from oven; uncover and let steaks cool in marinade 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate in marinade overnight.
• Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Pour 1/3 cup oil into each of 2 heavy large skillets; heat over high heat until oil is very hot. Add 4 steaks to each skillet and cook until crisp outside, about 3 minutes per side. Drain briefly on paper towels. Arrange steaks on platter; spoon Red-Onion Mojo over. Garnish with lime slices and serve.

Steps:

• Place oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions, and cook until they begin to soften and become translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add sugar and continue cooking for 1 minute. Carefully add vinegar and wine. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, and immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook until liquid has evaporated and onions are caramelized, about 3 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Place the orange juice, onion, parsley, olive oil, and salt in a mixing bowl and blend well using a wire whisk. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add the onions, stirring to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Let cool.
• Stack two pieces of aluminum foil that are large enough to wrap the fish in on top of one another. Fold up the sides of the foil so that it resembles a little boat. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the boat and spread it over the bottom. Lay the potatoes in the boat in one layer, and season with salt and pepper.
• With a sharp knife, make slashes in one side of the fish about 1 1/2 inches apart, going almost to the bone, and season with salt and pepper. Repeat on the other side of the fish. Lay it on top of the potatoes. Spoon the mojo verde on top of the fish. Lay the tomatoes on top of it and spoon the rest of the mojo on them. Spoon on the caramelized onions. Pour the wine around the fish.
• Fold the foil over to enclose the fish, crimping the edges to seal and set on a baking sheet.
• Roast the fish for about 1 hour, or until cooked through (carefully open the foil to check: the fish should flake easily when tested with a fork); cooking times can vary significantly depending on the thickness and type of fish. (The baked fish can be kept warm, and still retain its moisture, for up to 30 minutes if kept wrapped.)
• Serve with lemon wedges and, if you like, extra mojo verde on the side.
• Recommended wine: A wine with soft acidity and sweetness, such as a Vouvray or an American Pinot Blanc.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan with a lid, heat oil over medium. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add vinegar and sugar; simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and jam-like, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
