Mojo Aioli

Ingredients (Makes about 1 cup)

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (use a high-quality brand for best results)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons naranja agria (sour orange juice)

• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1/2 a lime)

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin, for richness)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Citrus Juice:

   • Measure out the naranja agria, lime juice, and lemon juice. Set aside.

2. Make the Aioli Base:

   • In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, naranja agria, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth.

3. Add Spices:

   • Stir in the ground cumin . Mix until fully incorporated.

4. Incorporate Olive Oil:

   • Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture. This will give the aioli a rich, velvety texture.

5. Season:

   • Taste the aioli and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust the citrus or spices to your preference.

6. Chill and Serve:

   • Transfer the mojo aioli to a serving bowl or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

   • Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley before serving, if desired.
