Captain Mojo Food

MOJO SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice the oranges down the middle and squeeze the juice. Mash a head of garlic in a morteros (a thick bowl with a mashing paddle used in Latino cooking). Add a little salt to the garlic (more than a pinch, less than a teaspoon). Add the sour orange juice to the mixture. Add oregano and pepper, to taste. Brush the Mojo Sauce on the food as it is cooking.

PAPAS CON MOJO

Steps:

• Roast potatoes in a preheated 375-degree oven. While roasting potatoes, sweat onion in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze pan with white wine and reduce until almost all liquid is gone. Add orange juice and reduce by 2/3. Fold in herbs and season with salt and pepper. When potatoes are done, pour hot mojo over potatoes and serve immediately.

CAPTAIN HANDSOME

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the gin, creme de violette, lime juice and limoncello and shake well. Rinse the inside of a cocktail glass with absinthe. Strain the drink into the glass, add the seltzer and garnish with a brandied cherry.

MOJO SAUCE

Steps:

• Puree the garlic and half the orange juice in a food processor or blender. Transfer to a large bowl. Puree the remaining juice with the dried and fresh oregano, and then add to the bowl. Grind the cumin and black pepper in a spice or coffee grinder, and then stir into the juice with the salt and sugar to taste. Let rest overnight before using.

THE CAPTAIN JACK

Steps:

• For the jackfruit: Drain cans of jack fruit and pull apart the fruit. Squeeze out and discard the seeds inside (only the seed pods are usable). Mix seed pods together in a bowl with Jalapeno Blackberry BBQ Sauce, cumin, garlic powder and pepper.
• For the sandwich: Preheat a griddle to about 375 degrees F.
• Place four 4-ounce scoops jack fruit mixture on the griddle and heat until just a bit caramelized, then flip and cook the other side, about 3 minutes total. Toast buns and sauce one side with Vegan Chipotle Mayo and the other with Jalapeno Blackberry BBQ Sauce. Place a jack fruit patty on each bun and add some coleslaw, pickles and onions to each.
• Combine vinegar, molasses, fruit spread, agave nectar, soy sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, onion powder, oil, liquid smoke, lemon juice, mustard, paprika, pepper, cumin, salt, cayenne and jalapeno in a saucepan and whisk together. Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• Place the soy milk in a food processor, then turn it on low speed. Slowly drizzle in the oil and blend. Pour mixture into a mixing bowl, then whisk in the pureed chipotle, mustard, vinegar, pepper, salt and sriracha until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

CAPTAIN'S MOJITO

Steps:

• Place the mint leaves, lime wedges, and ice into a cocktail shaker; mash well with a cocktail muddler. Pour in the simple syrup, lime juice, rum, cranberry juice, and soda water. Cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into a chilled glass to serve.
