We use the last water desalination to cook the potatoes (potato stew). When the potatoes are half cooked add the sweet potatoes. Potatoes must be peeled but not the sweet potatoes. We just cut the sweet potatoes in pieces as number of people to dinner. Finally, we take the fish and off the heat, adjusting for salt. Then, we have to drain and dishing two or three potatoes, a piece of sweet potato and a couple of pieces of fish.

To make the Canarian mojo we have to grind the garlic into a mortar and add the paprika, the sea salt, the olive oil, the vinegar and the cumin. Then we have to grind again and add the cold water and stir up slowly. This sauce is served with the food. That’s all. I hope you enjoy it.
