Follow The Directions

01

Step

Rehydrate the Chipotles: Place the dried chipotle peppers in a heatproof bowl and cover with very hot water. Let them soak for 3 minutes to soften. Drain well, then remove and discard the stems and seeds. Thinly slice the peppers. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Infuse the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over low heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook gently until it turns a beautiful golden brown, being careful not to burn it. This should take approximately 4 to 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Combine and Simmer: Stir in the sliced chipotle peppers and fresh lime juice into the garlic-infused oil. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together harmoniously. (Simmer time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Season and Cool: Season the Mojo de Ajo with salt to your liking. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely. (Cool time: 30 minutes)

05

Step

Storage: Once cooled, store the Mojo de Ajo in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for several days, and the flavors will continue to develop over time.

    Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter. Low and slow is the key!
