Canarian Potato Salad aka Potato Salad with Mojo de Cilantro

Labels: { , }


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com









The Canarian cuisine is a mixture of some native Guanche elements, as well as Spanish, African and Latin American foods. In the Canary Islands, "mojos" or sauces are made with vinegar and oil and served cold, as an accompaniment to potatoes, meat and fish.

Canarian Potato Salad aka Potato Salad with Mojo de Cilantro

adapted from essen und trinken
  • 500 g New potatoes
  • 1/2 bunch Cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin, ground
  • 2-3 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 5 tbsp Spanish olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Almond, chopped
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  1. Thoroughly rinse potatoes and cook in salted, gently boiling water for about 20 minutes.
  2. Roughly chop the cilantro and garlic clove. Place them in a blender with cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, lemon juice and olive oil. Process to create a puree. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
  3. Drain the potatoes and cut into quarters. Place them in a large bowl, add in cilantro sauce, and chopped almonds. Gently toss them together. Serve, garnished with cilantro leaves and coarse sea salt.

I do love acid based potato salads (I make a German version that is so delicious). And of course, anything with Cilantro and garlic would be a winner in our family.

I love the idea of larger halves of potatoes tossed with such a pretty cilantro sauce! I have tons of basil to use up, so I might just adapt this to use with that instead. Lovely recipe!

You can really enjoy a salad like this one-Delicious.

In Latin America, especially in the Caribbean island of Cuba. Mojos are used often to flavor meats. As soon as I saw your post, I felt like I could connect to it immediately.
