Mojo Picon (Garlic Sauce) image

This dish comes from the Canary Islands. It is a staple there, and goes with just about everything! Try it with "papas arrugadas" (small boiled potatoes with salt and lemon) for a Canary Island specialty! Delicious! It keeps well in the refrigerator, and is even better after a day or two. Serve at room temperature.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really bitter. I think I might have added too much cumin.

The sauce was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and cumin and it was much better.

This sauce is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little bit of sugar.
