What it is

Key ingredients
Dried salted white fish (e.g., bacalao), olive oil, fresh garlic, sour orange juice (or lime), green bell pepper, onion, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no starchy fillers or binders are used. Ensure the mojo is made without added sugar. Request no starchy sides like rice or potatoes.
Watch out for
Sweeteners in the mojo, potential for starchy fillers if a 'guiso' (stew) version is served, or high-carb accompaniments.
