Cuban MOJO Recipe | No, Mojo-Marinade and Mojo-Sauce are NOT the same!

Combine 1/2 cup sour orange juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 to 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, dry oregano, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley flakes, and thyme in a mixing bowl.

Stir the ingredients and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to hydrate the dry spices.

Taste the marinade for salt and acidity, adjust as needed.

For the sauce, smash 10 to 12 cloves of garlic and a sweet Spanish onion in a mortar.
