First Original Mojo Recipe by Lauren.

When no guests are with us for dinner, the interns take over the kitchen.  One night I felt like experimenting… and this is what I came up with:

 

Mojo Mashed Potato Fry (gotta come up with a better name)

Serves about 4.

Ingredients

Filling:

4 small potatoes

1 tomato

1 small green pepper (or ½ large green pepper)

3 small cloves garlic

1 small red onion

(everything is smaller here, because it’s local and organic)

1 tsp. fresh coriander

Salt, black pepper and red pepper to taste

Batter:

2 eggs

¾ c. white flour

¼ c. water

¼ tsp. salt

 

Boil potatoes, quarter and remove skins.  Mash in a bowl with fork and set aside.  Chop tomato, onion, coriander and green pepper, mince garlic.  In a cast iron frying pan on high heat, add cap-full of cooking oil and saute vegetables, coriander and garlic until brown.  Add potato and fry with veggies and oil.  Mix veggies and potato in the pan and put aside in bowl, add salt and pepper to taste. 

In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs in with flour and salt, add water until consistency is slightly thicker than pancake batter, beat until smooth.  Add another cap-full of oil to pan and pour half the batter like a pancake.  Slide spatula underneath to prevent sticking to pan.  Once the batter begins firming up on the top-side, spoon half the filling onto one half of the circle of batter and fold other half over the top.  Flip over and cook until inside batter is a little gooey but not runny, and outside is golden brown.  Repeat with rest of batter and filling. Cut into quarter slices.  Serve hot.
