Mojo Verde: Canarian Green Sauce
Mojo verde (translated from Spanish as “green sauce”) is traditionally made of cilantro, olive oil, sea salt, garlic and cumin.
This 5 minutes condiment is so versatile it fits to almost everything: roasted vegetables, potatoes (especially potatoes!), fresh bread, fish, soups, salads, beans… If you decide to throw a Canarian party, I bet this sauce will disappear within minutes.
