4. Season and Blend

Add salt to taste. Now, blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a creamy, smooth texture.

Pitfalls and tips

Quality of Ingredients

Use the freshest parsley possible and consider organic for a more robust flavor. High-quality ingredients are the foundation of a great Mojo.

Proper Emulsification

Add olive oil slowly while blending to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.

Resting Time

Allow the sauce to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld, or make it in advance for an even better taste.

Acid Component

Balance the sauce with sherry vinegar or a mix of vinegar and citrus juice, adjusting to your preference for tanginess.

Garlic Balance

Use fresh garlic and adjust the amount based on clove size and personal taste. Blanch cloves if you prefer a milder garlic flavor.
