Traditional Cuban Recipe: Cuban Mojo (Cuban Marinade) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 heads garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns (whole)
1 1/2 cups orange juice, sour orange (or 1 cup orange juice & 1/2 cup lemon juice & 1/2 cup lime juice)
1 cup minced onion
2 teaspoons oregano
1 cup Spanish olive oil

Preparation

Mash garlic, salt and peppercorns, using a mortar and pestle or use food processor.
Stir in juice.
Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes or longer at room temperature.
*If making it without the oil - stop at this point and this makes a perfect marinade for seasoning, chicken, fish, pork &/or beef.
Continue with preparing the mojo with oil - after you have stirred in juice add onion & oregano.
Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes or longer at room temperature.
In a saucepan heat olive oil to medium hot & then remove from heat.
Whisk oil in garlic-juice mixture, until well blended.
Stores for at least a week in the refrigerator.
