Variations

• Canary Island-style Mojo: Mojo sauce originated in the Canary Islands, a chain of Spanish islands off the coast of West Africa. Add a tablespoon of paprika or ground cumin, or use combination of the two. For a little heat, add a chopped chile pepper. Serve with boiled potatoes or as a dip for bread.
• Add a little squeeze of orange juice for an authentic sour orange flavor. Or substitute vinegar for the citrus juice.
• Add a little dried oregano.
• Add a little water or chicken stock to the sauce to thin it out a bit if you like.
