Mojo Sauce For Seasoning A Barbecue Potato Salad

Seasoning a barbecue potato salad to make it stand out takes practice. It’s easy to just add mayo but now here’s the flavour packed answer.

Well I think I’ve got the perfect solution here and it only came to me while trying to figure out what to do with some leftovers.

I’d done my Salmon in Mojo Sauce and had quite a bit of the green herb sauce left over. Despite being a Spanish recipe it looks a lot like an Italian pesto so I thought I’d see whether it worked…………..Eureka!

I've used steamed new potatoes for this salad and it works great. The reason for steaming them (rather than boiling) is two fold:

1. I think that the skins maintain more flavor when steamed
2. They don't go soggy when cooling - when they are cooked just lift the steamer shelf out and pour away the hot water, replace the steamer shelf, leave the lid off and the potatoes will cool and keep nice and dry

The sauce recipe is below, so just steam your new potatoes, allow them to cool and then drizzle on the mojo sauce. The results are amazing.

Ingredients:-

• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh coriander chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• Pinch of salt

Method:-

To make the mojo sauce, place the solid ingredients and spices into a food processor and blitz then gently and drizzle in the olive oil. Transfer to a small dish, stir in the vinegar and season to taste.

Transfer your now cool potatoes to a serving dish and pour over the mojo sauce.
