This is the best Cuban Mojo recipe on the web!!
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
No, it’s not pronounced "mo-jo." Mojo ("mo-ho") is Cuba’s barbecue sauce, a sort of cumin and fried garlic vinaigrette that’s splashed over every imaginable dish, from palomilla (Cuban steak) to the above roast pork. Cubans make their mojo with sour orange juice. Sour oranges can be found at Hispanic grocery stores, but excellent mojo can be made with fresh lime juice mixed with a little regular orange juice for sweetness. Serve the mojo in a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid, so you can shake it up before pouring. This recipe is easily doubled; if you are making lechon asado, you will need to do so. Just make sure you use a saucepan deep enough to safely accommodate a cup of boiling oil.
___ c olive oil
_ clove garlic, large, cut into paper thin slices or finely chopped
___ c orange juice, fresh and sour or 1/2 cup fresh lime juice plus 3 tablespoons fresh regular orange juice
___ c water
_ tsp cumin, ground
_ tsp oregano, dried
_ tsp salt, or to taste
_ tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
_ tbs cilantro, chopped fresh or Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
1. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and pale golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Do not let brown too much, or the garlic will become bitter.
2. Stir in the sour orange juice, water, cumin, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stand back; the sauce may sputter. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper. Let cool to room temperature, then stir in the cilantro. Transfer the mojo to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Serve in the jar and shake well before serving.
