Mojo De Ajo (Cuban Citrus-Garlic Barbecue Sauce)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 8 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced crosswise
- 23 cup fresh sour orange juice (or 1/2 cup fresh lime juice and 3 tablespoons fresh grapefruit juice)
- 13 cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
- Heat olive oil in deep saucepan over medium heat.
- Add garlic, and cook until fragrant and pale golden brown.
- Do not let brown too much, or else garlic will become bitter.
- Stir in sour orange juice (or lime juice and grapefruit juice), water, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Stand back, because the sauce may spatter.
- Bring to rolling boil.
- Correct the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Let cool to room temperature, and then stir in cilantro or parsley.
- Store in bottle or jar with tight-fitting lid; shake well before serving.
- Serve with grilled pork, chicken, seafood and vegetables.
