Mojo de Ajo


For the garlic lover. This gralic-infused olive oil is great for anything. I typically use this as the starter for pasta sauce but when I am feeling in the mood for something cuban, this recipe comes in handy as well.

1 8 x 8 pyrex baking dish
4 whole garlic bulbs, medium to large
1 teaspoon salt
2 c olive oil
1/8-1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice,according to taste

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Peel and smash all the garlic cloves from the 4 bulbs and place in the bottom of the pan. Stir in salt.

Cover the smashed cloves with the oil making sure all the cloves are under the oil.

Place in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until the cloves begin to get golden.

Remove from oven, add lime juice and stir.

Place back in oven and bake for additional 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and mash the cooked cloves with a standard mashed potato masher.

Place in airtight plastic or glass container and refrigerate.
