Sauce For Tostones


This is sauce for tostones, sometimes called mojo. Its very good and mostly the measurements are by taste. I didnt learn with exact measures, so it just depends on what you like. There are many ways to make this. This is just one way i learned. Here is just how i make it. *measurements not exact*

Steps


Mash up the garlic really well.
I use a pilon or mortar & pestle.
Heat up olive oil in a sauce pan and let garlic simmer for a few minutes.
Do not let it burn !.
Put in the tomato sauce and mix in the tomato paste to desired thickness.
This sauce should not taste alot like tomato , the garlic should take over the taste of it.
Mix in the lemon juice.
Let it cool a bit and eat with tostones as a dip.
Variation: for a stronger taste you can let the sauce sit for a few days and then run it through a strainer to get rid of the pieces of garlic ,.
