Mojo Verde
This green, herb-flavored sauce is good on almost anything.
2 tbsps. cider vinegar or wine vinegar
2 tbsps. extra-virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, washed and dried
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh parsley leaves, washed and dried
2 cups diced green bell peppers (1 1/2 medium pepper)
2 tsps. sliced almonds, toasted
3 slices French bread, 1/2-inch thick, lightly toasted and cubed
1 fresh green serrano or jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp. salt, or to taste
Put vinegar, oil, garlic, cilantro and parsley in a blender. Add bell pepper and
almonds; pulse until completely pureed.
Add bread, serrano or jalapeno and salt; pulse until smooth. If the sauce seems
thick, thin with a little water.
Note: The mojo will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If it
separates a little, just drain off excess liquid.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
