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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
