Mojo Sauce

  1. Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly toasted. Don't let it brown or it will be acrid tasting, just about 30 seconds should do it.
  2. Add the sour orange juice, cumin and salt and pepper. STAND BACK; the sauce may sputter. Bring to a rolling boil. Taste and correct seasoning, if needed
  3. Cool before serving. Mojo is best when served within a couple of hours of making, but it will keep for several days, well capped in a jar or bottle, in the refrigerator.
  4. Use with Cuban sandwiches, boiled yucca, grilled seafood and meats, fried green plantain chips, etc.
  5. I have seen recipes for mojo using cilantro in it, but that is not traditional to Cuban Cuisine.
  6. (*) I prefer to add more lime juice than orange, as I like it very tart.
