There are a few things you need to know when making Hispanic Caribbean food and a Cuban Style Mojo / Mojo Criollo is one of them. It’s the foundation to many dishes and it’s made from fresh ingredients that you probably already have in your house. Trust me, this is a marinade you want to perfect especially if you like pernil! Luckily, Cuban Style Mojo / Mojo Criollo is fairly simple. There are many variations but they all essentially stem from a traditional Cuban Style Mojo or Mojo Criollo (Creole Mojo). All you need is:

Ingredients:
• 2 cups of bitter orange juice but if you don’t have any simply use:
o 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
o 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 12 heads of garlic (Garlic is the main star of this show!)
• 1 white onion—finely chopped
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Pinch of oregano
• Pinch of fresh thyme (about 23 sprigs)
• ¼ cup of olive oil

Directions:
1. Using a food processor or mortar and pestle (pilon) mashed up garlic with a pinch of salt until you’ve created a garlic paste. The salt will help break down the garlic.
2. Afterwards, whisk all of the ingredients in a bowl leaving the oil for last
3. Once you’ve whisked the garlic, orange, lemon juice and the rest of the ingredients add the olive oil making sure to whisk as your pour
4. Lastly, store in a glass container and make sure to use within a few days otherwise freeze it to preserve the goodness!
