Mojo Moulies Recipes

Steps:

• In skillet over medium-high heat, add about 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once heated, add the garlic and onion, cook until pale golden brown; 2 to 3 minutes only, stirring constantly.
• Stir in the citrus juices, 2/3 cup water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and all dry ingredients. Bring sauce mixture to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to a hot large skillet to just cover. Add ribs and sear, about 3 minutes each side. Remove to a large shallow roasting pan.
• Add Mojo sauce over the country style ribs and turn to cover. Seal tightly with foil and roast for 3 hours. Marinate each hour with Mojo sauce. Take foil off for the last 30 minutes of cooking, or until tender.

Steps:

• Slice the oranges down the middle and squeeze the juice. Mash a head of garlic in a morteros (a thick bowl with a mashing paddle used in Latino cooking). Add a little salt to the garlic (more than a pinch, less than a teaspoon). Add the sour orange juice to the mixture. Add oregano and pepper, to taste. Brush the Mojo Sauce on the food as it is cooking.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or straight-sided 12-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mussels, cover and steam until open, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a large serving bowl.
• Add the creme fraiche, parsley, butter, chives and mustard to the remaining cooking liquid and bring just to a boil while stirring to combine. Pour the sauce over the mussels. Serve with French fries.

Steps:

• MOJO: whisk together all of the Mojo ingredients (except the steaks). Reserve 1/4 cup of marinade, covered, in the fridge. Marinate the steak in the remaining Mojo for 1 hour prior to grilling.
• MACARONI: Heat butter in a large skillet and sauté the onions, garlic, and habanero until just tender. Add the cooked macaroni, cheese, and poblano puree. Mix thoroughly and season to taste. Keep warm.
• GRILL: Grill the steak to desired doneness. Trim the roots off the green onions and grill them alongside the steak.
• SERVE: Place macaroni onto a plate. Place the steak atop the macaroni and spoon reserved Mojo over the steaks. Place grilled green onion stalks over top.

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture and fry until browned and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, orange zest, lime zest, and 2 teaspoons salt in another large bowl. Mix well.
• Transfer 2 teaspoons of the mojo seasoning to a small bowl and add the sour cream, orange juice and lime juice. Mix to combine.
• Add the melted butter to the remaining mojo seasoning and whisk to combine. Toss the fried wings in the mojo butter. Serve with the sour cream dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Saute garlic and chile pepper in olive oil and cool. Add remaining seasonings.
• Place chicken in plastic ziplock bag and pour in all but 1/3 C marinade. Refrigerate remaining marinade. Seal bag and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours, turnuing occasionally.

• Grill covered (turning occasionally) for 30-40 minutes until until juices run clear when tested and is no longer pink. (180 dg.) Brush remaining marinade on all sides of chicken during last minutes of grilling.
