Red Onion Mojo Recipes

Steps:

• Blend the bell peppers, garlic, paprika, cilantro, olive oil, chile pepper, and bread in a blender until liquefied.

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice, lime juice, smashed garlic, jalapeno, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender. Puree until combined, then let sit 5 minutes. Turn the blender back on and slowly pour in 1/2 cup olive oil. Remove 1/4 cup of the mixture and set aside for the marinade. Add the mint and parsley to the remaining mixture in the blender and puree again until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the sauce to a bowl; cover and refrigerate.
• Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Place in a large bowl and add the reserved 1/4 cup marinade, the minced garlic, cumin and oregano. Rub all over the chicken until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Let the chicken come to room temperature while the oven preheats. Toss the plantains and red onion on a rimmed baking sheet with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread out on the baking sheet. Nestle the chicken, skin-side up, and orange slices among the plantains and onion.
• Roast until the plantains are tender when pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes. Remove the plantains to a cutting board and stand them up on a cut side. Flatten the plantains with the bottom of a measuring cup or ramekin, then return to the baking sheet, setting them flat in the pan juices.
• Return the pan to the oven and roast until the chicken is browned, crisp and cooked through, 20 to 25 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped mint and parsley; serve with the sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until tender and translucent but not brown, about 10 minutes. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over medium heat before continuing.).
• Add lime juice to onions and simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove onions from heat. Stir in cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine first 9 ingredients in blender. Purée until marinade is almost smooth. Arrange steaks in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour marinade over. Cover dish tightly with foil. Roast in oven 1 hour. Remove dish from oven; uncover and let steaks cool in marinade 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate in marinade overnight.
• Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Pour 1/3 cup oil into each of 2 heavy large skillets; heat over high heat until oil is very hot. Add 4 steaks to each skillet and cook until crisp outside, about 3 minutes per side. Drain briefly on paper towels. Arrange steaks on platter; spoon Red-Onion Mojo over. Garnish with lime slices and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add the onions, stirring to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Let cool.
• Stack two pieces of aluminum foil that are large enough to wrap the fish in on top of one another. Fold up the sides of the foil so that it resembles a little boat. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the boat and spread it over the bottom. Lay the potatoes in the boat in one layer, and season with salt and pepper.
• With a sharp knife, make slashes in one side of the fish about 1 1/2 inches apart, going almost to the bone, and season with salt and pepper. Repeat on the other side of the fish. Lay it on top of the potatoes. Spoon the mojo verde on top of the fish. Lay the tomatoes on top of it and spoon the rest of the mojo on them. Spoon on the caramelized onions. Pour the wine around the fish.
• Fold the foil over to enclose the fish, crimping the edges to seal and set on a baking sheet.
• Roast the fish for about 1 hour, or until cooked through (carefully open the foil to check: the fish should flake easily when tested with a fork); cooking times can vary significantly depending on the thickness and type of fish. (The baked fish can be kept warm, and still retain its moisture, for up to 30 minutes if kept wrapped.)
• Serve with lemon wedges and, if you like, extra mojo verde on the side.
• Recommended wine: A wine with soft acidity and sweetness, such as a Vouvray or an American Pinot Blanc.

Steps:

• Place mango puree in stainless steel bowl.
• Add red onions.
• Mix in lime juice, orange juice, ginger and sugar.
• Lightly simmer garlic in olive oil for 5-6 minutes.
• Add to mango mixture and blend well.

• Season to taste.

Steps:

• Place the orange juice, onion, parsley, olive oil, and salt in a mixing bowl and blend well using a wire whisk. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Mash garlic, salt and peppercorns, using a mortar and pestle or use food processor.
• Stir in juice.
• Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes or longer at room temperature.
• *If making it without the oil - stop at this point and this makes a perfect marinade for seasoning, chicken, fish, pork &/or beef.
• Continue with preparing the mojo with oil - after you have stirred in juice add onion & oregano.
• Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes or longer at room temperature.
• In a saucepan heat olive oil to medium hot & then remove from heat.
• Whisk oil in garlic-juice mixture, until well blended.
• Stores for at least a week in the refrigerator.
