Super Fresh Cuban Style Mojo Recipes
SUPER FRESH CUBAN-STYLE MOJO
There are many, many recipes for Cuban-Style Mojo. Some use naranja agria (sour orange) or dried herbs. I like this particular recipe because it is so easy and tastes so fresh. This recipe is an adaptation of the mojo made by my grandmother, who is from a small town in the province of Pinar Del Rio, in western Cuba. I usually use this delicious sauce on top of boiled yuca and as a dipping sauce for fried yuca, fried malanga or fried green plaintains (tostones). But it is very versatile and can be used to dip other vegetables in, as a marinade or sauce for meat, fish or chicken, or even mixed into a side dish of rice..

CUBAN MOJO CRIOLLO (MOJO MARINADE RECIPE)
Steps:
- In a mortar and pestle, add the garlic cloves and salt. Mash both until you get a smooth paste.
- In a large mason jar, add the garlic paste, minced onion, black pepper, oregano, cumin, sour orange juice, and olive oil. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake it until well combined. Be sure to shake well before every use.
- Feel free to taste and adjust seasoning. If you're not a fan of garlic, you can add less (maybe 5 or 6 cloves). This marinade should taste garlicky, fresh, tangy, citrusy, bright, and slightly sour. Never sweet nor spicy.
- This recipe makes approximately 2 cups of mojo marinade which will last approximately up to 3 weeks in an airtight container/mason jar. You can also freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Enjoy!

TRADITIONAL CUBAN RECIPE: CUBAN MOJO (CUBAN MARINADE)
There are many variations of mojo. It is the signature marinade of Cuba and it finds its way into many varied dishes. After searching through many recipes and cookbooks; I found this in on www.icuban.com and in "Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban" by: three brothers-in-law, Glenn Lindgren, Raul Musibay and Jorge Castillo. Many mojos do not include oil; with or without oil the key element is "sour" orange, an almost bitter orange that grows throughout Cuba and now it flourishes in most Miami backyards. In a pinch use: 2 parts orange juice to 1 part lemon juice and 1 part lime juice. The key to a good mojo is in the proportions; garlic, salt, whole black peppercorns and sour orange juice are it's main ingredients.Update: 04/14/08 add a teaspoon of cumin (if you so desire) there are many recipes that call for it but we don't use it here! I have been using this mojo since I left my mother's house, as we always used it in Cuba and Haiti.:)
