I’ve tasted many variations of Mojo sauce, but this one is my favorite. Light and fruity, the minced cilantro and garlic add so much flavor. There are similar recipes like this which puree the ingredients together, but being on a sailboat we opted to keep it rough cut.
Mojo Sauce
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
Juice of 1 sour orange
(or 1/3 cup orange juice and 1/3 cup lime juice)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
1/2 tsp cumin
Mince the garlic cloves and lightly crush the Kosher salt into the garlic with the side of a knife (or as I used, the blunt end of the garlic press or a rock and a ulu bowl.) making a wet paste. The garlic will begin to sweat from the salt. Place in a small bowl.
Add to that bowl the juice of 2 sour oranges. If you don’t have a sour oranges (also known as Seville oranges), use the juice of one regular orange and two limes.
Blend in 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup fresh minced cilantro.
