Mojo de ajo is a garlic sauce that's popular in Mexico, Cuba, Chile, and many Caribbean and Latin American countries. It usually consists of olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and lemon, orange, or lime juice. The ingredients are simply blended together until smooth and the sauce is ready to be consumed.


It can be used to season yucca, tostones, chicken, steaks, vegetables, and just about anything else. In Mexico, mojo de ajo is typically used with a fish known as pejelagarto.
