Mojo De Ajo

Fish al mojo de ajo is one of my favorite dishes, but one I have yet to learn to make. I am sure there are a thousand ways to make it, so I was curious how people make it. What else do you serve it with besides fish?

I think it's pretty basic. Tons of garlic and oil. I used to like it over boiled yucca at El Zocolo in San Francisco *Salvadorean food).

I use Bayless's recipe: http://www.rickbayless.com/recipe/view?recipeID=244

Since it's basically just garlic and olive oil, it goes with damn near everything and I often use it to kick up a dish when the flavors are a bit flat. Personally, I tend to use it more as an ingredient than a sauce as I'm not a huge fan of having my food sit in a pool of oil, no matter how tasty that oil might be.

I love taking an exceedingly large scoop of the mashed garlic and adding it to a batch of refried beans.
