Sorullitos con Ajo Mojo
Historia
Back in the day, Don Luis used to say, *“The best snacks come from love, cornmeal… y a little ajo!”* His abuelo would always fry up a batch de golden sorullitos while singing along to an old salsa tune, the record player cracking slightly con age. The scent de fried cornmeal would travel through the whole house, making the cousins race in from the backyard, hands outstretched. But what made them legendary? The ajo mojo 🧄🔥. A tangy, garlicky dipping sauce that had the power to make even the pickiest eater ask para seconds. Don Luis, wearing his signature jean-y-leather apron, still makes these para the neighborhood kids every Sunday. y they always come back the next week… con friends! Time + Cost + Nutrition
