Canarian Mojo: The Soul of Canary Islands Cuisine

If there’s one sauce that defines the essence of Canarian cuisine, it’s mojo. This traditional condiment has delighted taste buds for centuries and remains the perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of dishes. But did you know that there are different types of mojo depending on the dish you’re enjoying?

Types of Mojo: A Sauce for Every Occasion

In Canarian gastronomy, the most popular mojos are:

🟢 Green Mojo: Light and fresh, perfect for pairing with fish and seafood. Made with a base of cilantro or parsley, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar, it enhances flavors without overpowering them.

🔴 Red Mojo (or Mojo Picón): More intense and with a spicy kick, it’s the favorite choice for the famous Canarian potatoes and meats. Its secret lies in dried red peppers, garlic, and cumin, giving it that vibrant color and unmistakable flavor.

The Secret of Its Flavor: Fresh Ingredients & Tradition

Mojo is made with simple yet high-quality ingredients: garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and spices. Depending on the recipe, additional ingredients like peppers, aromatic herbs, or even nuts can be added for a unique twist.

In the Canary Islands, every family has its own version of mojo, passed down from generation to generation. It’s more than just a sauce—it’s an essential part of the archipelago’s culinary identity.
