Red Mojo sauce is a popular sauce in Latin, Mexican, and Southwestern cooking. It is a pepper based sauce that has just enough spice from cumin to add a kick to an otherwise mild dish. Some popular uses for a Red mojo sauce include drizzling it over Chilean sea bass. Red Mojo sauce can also be used to add a spicy pepper flavor to either chicken or pork.
Instructions
1. In a small food processor, combine the dry ingredients: one tablespoon each of cumin, paprika, and sea salt.
2. Finely chop one small clove of garlic. Add this to the dry ingredients in the food processor. The combination of the dry spices and the garlic give the Red Mojo sauce its flavor and subtle spice.
3. Add a splash of olive oil to the ingredients in the food processor and pulse to create a paste. The paste should be smooth and the chunks of garlic should be reduced to small pieces.
4. Transfer the paste from the food processor to a blender. You might need to add another splash of olive oil to help remove the paste from the food processor into the blender.
5. Chop up two whole red peppers. Divide these into piles made up of one half pepper each.
6. Add half of a red pepper at a time. After adding the red pepper, blend at high speed. Blend until the pepper has liquefied completely.
7. Repeat step 6 until you have used both red peppers entirely. The Red Mojo sauce will be highly concentrated and rather thick. If you wish to thin out the sauce a little, add additional olive oil and blend. Continue this until your Red Mojo sauce has the consistence and spice level that you prefer.
