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.

Ingredients

2-3 medium dried red peppers (2 ounces/57 grams by weight - I used dried pimiento palmera peppers & chiles de arbol)
4 cloves garlic
1 slice stale or lightly toasted bread (torn to small pieces)
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 to 1/2 cup water (for thinning)

Steps:

Remove the stems and seeds from the dried peppers. Set them into a bowl and cover them with very hot water. Allow to rehydrate for 15-20 minutes, or until they are very soft. Drain the water and set the peppers into a food processor
Add the garlic, torn bread, paprika, cumin, vinegar and salt to taste.
Process the mixture until well combined.
Pour in the olive oil a bit at a time while processing until the mojo sauce thickens up to a chili paste.
Add 1/4 water and process until smooth. For a thinner sauce, add another 1/4 cup water and process to your preference.
Adjust for salt and vinegar, and serve.
