Mojo Picon

INGREDIENTS:

5 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2-3 dried chiles
Salt
Bread*
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
2-3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4-5 tablespoons olive oil
Water (roughly 1/2 a cup, add as needed)

*The recipe I have recommends 3-4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, but I add small chunks of bread until the desired thickness is achieved. You can use Italian table bread, French boule bread, or even straight-up American white bread - or whatever.

DIRECTIONS:

* In a food processor, add cumin, garlic, chiles, and salt. Blend well.

* Add paprika, vinegar, and oil. Blend well.

* Add bread and water and blend until desired thickness and taste are achieved. (I like it relatively thick.)

I SERVE WITH:

* Papas Arrugadas
