Mojo Picón

Serves a party

Ingredients:

* 4-5 garlic cloves
* 2 spoons of cumin
* 1 spoon of paprika powder
* 2 cups of oil (olive or sunflower)
* 1 cup of vinegar
* 1-2 spoons of salt
* 1 paprika (colour to taste)
* 6 small dried chili's
* Bread to make thicker (to taste)
* water to make thinner (to taste)



Preparation:

Personally I like to use a red paprika because of the flavour, but in this recipe I used a yellow one. When using a green one, you should also add parsley to taste. The green variant is usually used in combination with fish.

Clean the garlic and the paprika, cut out the inside of the paprika and put in a blender. Add the rest of the ingredients. Use bread (or breadcrumbs) to make the sauce thicker, and water to make it thinner. Personally I prefer a thicker varient of the sauce.

You can use it along with boiled potatoes, vegetables and meat/fish.

I hope you like the recipe.

Grilled chicken sandwich

Serves 3 - 4

Ingredients:

* 500g chicken breast
* 8 bread rolls
* Cheddar

* Jalapeño slices
* Canned tomato cubes

* 1 green paprika

* 1 onion
* 3 garlic cloves

* Coriander

* Salt
* Chili powder

* Paprika powder

* Tomato ketchup

* Lime juice

       

Preparations:

We start by making the salsa sauce.
Finely cut the garlic, onion and paprika and heat up some oil in a pot. Softly cook the vegetables and let it simmer. Now add the tomato cubes and stir. Immediately add the coriander, salt, and the powders to taste. Add a dash of lime juice and add 1 to 2 spoons of tomato ketchup. Stir well and remove from heat. Leave it alone to cool.

Now we take a grill pan and grill the chicken on both sides. Be sure to grill it through, in case of bacteria. Now cut, or pull the chicken in strips.

On the rolls; put the cheddar and let it melt (I used the microwave to do this) then add the chicken, salsa sauce and decorate with jalapeño.

I hope you like the recipe and hopefully until soon!

Yours truly,

Mike
