'''Mojo''' ({{IPA-es|ˈmoxo}}, from [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] ''molho'' {{IPA-pt|ˈmoʎu|}}, meaning "sauce") is the name, or abbreviated name, of several types of [[sauce]]s, varying in spiciness, consisting primarily of [[olive oil]], local pepper varieties (called ''pimienta'' in the Canary Islands), [[garlic]], [[paprika]] (called ''pimentón'' in Spain), [[cumin]] or [[coriander]], and other spices. Mojo originated in the [[Canary Islands]], where the main varieties are red mojo (''mojo rojo'') and green mojo (''mojo verde''). Other countries have recipes similar to mojo, where acid ingredients such as [[vinegar]], [[lemon]], [[orange (fruit)|orange]], or [[Lime (fruit)|lime]] juice may be used. |

'''Red mojo''', made of small red peppers from [[La Palma]] (called ''pimienta picona'') and [[paprika]], is usually eaten with meat. Red and green mojo can be used interchangeably to season some dishes, prominently ''[[Canarian wrinkly potatoes|papas arrugadas]] con salsa mojo'', or ''potatoes with mojo''. Mojo is also commonly served with fresh bread rolls at the beginning of a meal. |
||
=== Preparation === |
|||
To prepare red mojo it is necessary to dry the peppers. Once dry, peppers can be kept for a long time before preparation. Before making mojo, peppers are soaked in water so they lose their spiciness. Then, grains and fibers are removed but for a few that will make the mojo spicy. In the case of green mojo, spiciness will be regulated by the amount of garlic, and can be also intensified by adding ground coriander seeds. |
|||
=== Canarian variations === |
|||
Local variations of mojo include recipes with cheese such as ''mojo con queso'' (''mojo with cheese'') from [[La Palma]] and [[El Hierro]], as well as [[almogrote]] from [[La Gomera]], where it is turned it into a paste that can be spread over bread. Every Canarian family has its own recipe for mojo, so it can vary greatly in flavour, spiciness and texture. There is also almond mojo which is an ideal accompaniment to various roasted dishes. Saffron mojo, whose main ingredient is Canarian saffron, tastes excellent with any kind of fried cheese. Garlic mojo is ideal on [[pizza]]. Herb mojo is made of mixed spices and is ideal for any kind of salad. |

Similar sauces, also known as ''mojo'', are also popularin [[Cuba]] and throughout the islands of the [[Caribbean]], Hispanic or non-Hispanic, due to heavy Canarian emigration to the Caribbean, and have even influenced some [[barbecue sauce]]s in the [[Deep South]] region of the United States, particularly the states of Florida, Texas, and Louisiana. {{Citation needed|date=September 2014}} The flavor can be made of almost everything, from tomato or pepper to avocado. {{Citation needed|date=September 2014}} |
