Cuban Garlic Mojo Recipe | Mojo Cubano con Ajo y Limón for Yuca & More

sour orange juice

💰Cheaper: orange juice + lime juice

Combining orange and lime juice mimics the flavor of sour oranges.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Turn on the stove to medium heat.

Find a pot deep enough for the oil and let it heat until very hot.

Chop garlic finely and pour it into a glass container.

Squeeze in the juice of 1.5 limes over the garlic.

Add salt to taste and mix everything together.

Use a wooden skewer to check the oil temperature; it should bubble when hot enough.

Carefully pour the hot oil into the glass container with the garlic and lime mixture, little by little to avoid bubbling over.

Let the mixture cool off before pouring it over the Yucca.
