Hello friend @ cook @! I’m here again with the best recipe to prepare an authentic mojo picón . This is a traditional Canarian recipe that you can prepare with the mortar, the mixer or the thermomix and it is ideal to accompany meats and the typical Canarian wrinkled potatoes.
The idea was given to me by my husband, who spent many years working in Gran Canaria, and he told me the other day why he did not make a recipe for Canarian mojo picón . Every time we prepare a family barbecue it is already bundled with the mortar in hand and until it does not stop, although the truth is that the rest of us do not care because we love it.
Canaries call this sauce in different ways: mojo palmero, red mojo, red mojo or mojo picón . It is perfect for all types of meats: chicken, beef, pork …, it gives it a very special and exotic touch.
I’m going to explain this recipe to you, which is very easy to make and with which you are going to lick your fingers.
And as usual, I bring you a step-by-step explanatory video.
