MOJO AIOLI
This mojo aioli is a mayonnaise-based sauce blended with toasted cumin, toasted coriander, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, and cilantro. It works as a dipping sauce or spread for fries, yucca fries, sandwiches, tacos, fish, pork, and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon orange juice
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a good processor or blender until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend to incorporate. If possible let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before using to let the flavors enhance.
NOTES
- Toast and grind the spices first. The recipe uses toasted, ground cumin seeds and coriander seeds, so do that before you blend everything else.
- Blend until completely smooth. A blender or food processor is the method the post calls for, and it helps the garlic, herbs, and spices distribute evenly through the mayonnaise.
- Season after blending. Taste it once everything is smooth, then adjust with salt and pepper at the end.
- Let it chill before serving. The post recommends refrigerating it for at least 1 hour if possible, so the flavor comes together.
- Use it as a dip or spread. The page specifically suggests it for French fries, yucca fries, Cuban sandwiches, tacos, fish, vegetables, and pork.
