Mojo (Traditional Cuban Sauce)

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.
