Cuban Mojo Marinade Recipe

	Vainwi / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago This was inspired by Trader Joe's Mojito Sauce, but is WAY better, if I do say so myself! Is great as a marinade and/or sauce.

Ingredients

2 Tbls olive oil

1 tsp cumin seed

1 head garlic, peeled

1 large onion, peeled and halved

1/2 bunch cilantro

1 cup orange juice

1 cup lime juice

1 Tbls distilled white vinegar

1/2 cup olive oil

Directions

Heat saucepan on medium heat, add 2 T olive oil, then cumin seed. Toast cumin seed until browned and fragrant, stir often to keep from burning. Pour cumin and oil into food processor bowl.

Add next 6 ingredients to food processor bowl. Pulse until well blended and onion, garlic and cilantro are chopped finely.

Heat balance of olive oil in saucepan on medium heat. Add marinade ingredients - carefully - to hot pan and saute for 4 minutes.

Let cool, then transfer back into the food processor bowl. Pulse a couple of times to reincorporate the oil into the marinade.

Use to marinate chicken, shrimp, tofu, pretty much anything..

This sounds perfect! I have been looking for a mojito sauce ever since I had a cuban chicken sandwich with this on it. Delicious.
