This vibrant Mojo Rojo is a staple of Canarian cuisine, offering a bold and smoky flavour profile that elevates any vegan meal. Characterised by its deep red hue and punchy garlic base, this traditional Spanish sauce relies on high-quality olive oil and piquant dried chillies to achieve its signature depth. It is a versatile condiment that balances earthiness from ground cumin with the sharp brightness of Sherry vinegar.

While traditionally served alongside papas arrugadas (wrinkly salt-crusted potatoes), this homemade sauce also works beautifully as a dip for crusty bread or a dressing for roasted vegetables. It is a naturally healthy addition to your repertoire, providing plenty of heart-healthy fats and antioxidant-rich spices. Prepare a jar for your next gathering to bring a taste of the Mediterranean to your table.
