Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice, 6 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and 1 tsp of cumin.
- Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and emulsified.
- Season the Sauce:
- Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper to suit your preference.
- Adjust the balance of citrus and garlic as desired for your marinade.
- Serve:
- Use the Mojo Sauce as a marinade for pork, chicken, or seafood.
- Allow the meat to marinate for at least 1-2 hours (or overnight for deeper flavor).
- Alternatively, use it as a drizzle over roasted vegetables or as a dipping sauce.
Tips for Success:
- For an authentic Cuban flavor, use freshly squeezed citrus juices and high-quality olive oil.
- For a bolder garlic taste, let the sauce sit for 10 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld.
- Double the recipe if preparing for larger meals or BBQs.
Wine, Cocktail, or Drink Pairing:
- Pair this Mojo Sauce with a refreshing Cuban Mojito or a chilled white wine for a complementary pairing.
