Ingredients

3 cups cilantro leaves (2 to 3 large bunches)

13 to 15 jalapeno peppers

1 head of garlic

3-inch piece of fresh ginger

1 lime

1 lemon

1/4 cup white wine vinegar

1 tsp sea salt (optional)

1 tbsp honey (optional)

Preparation

Prepare ingredients and place in food processor (or blender):

  1. Pick cilantro leaves and discard cilantro stems.
  2. Remove stems from jalapenos (remove seeds if you want less heat).
  3. Peel garlic cloves.
  4. Peel and finely slice or grate ginger.
  5. Zest and juice lemon and lime.
  6. Add vinegar, salt, and honey.

Pulse until smooth.

Enjoy and refrigerate the rest. Makes at least 1 quart (depends largely on the size of the jalapenos). Keeps 4 to 6 weeks.

NOTE: “Mojo” consistency should be similar to mint chutney. If the mojo needs more liquid, add more lemon juice and white wine vinegar in equal parts (try 1 tbsp of each).
