Mojo (Traditional Cuban Sauce)
- 1 bulb Garlic
- 1/2 cups White Onion
- 1 cup Sour Orange Naranja Agria
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Oregano Powder
- 1/3 cups Olive Oil (optional)
- Break apart the head of garlic and remove the papery skin. Place garlic cloves and white onion in a food processor or blender and blend into a finely chopped mixture.
- Pour garlic and white onion mixture into a mixing bowl with remaining ingredients. Mix everything well with a whisk or spoon and let the marinade sit for 45 minutes before using or storing in the refrigerator.
- Notes:
- 1. We are fortunate to have sour/bitter oranges at the grocery store where we live but if you cannot find them, you can also use the Goya bottled version or 3/4 cup orange juice and 1/4 cup lime. If you can find them, it takes about 4 to 5 medium sized oranges to juice a cup.
- 2. The olive oil is optional and is only used to help meat preserve moisture and fat.
- 3. This marinade can be used for pork, steak, chicken, and fish.
