Mojo is a cuban sauce consisting of olive oil, garlic and citrus, plus a mixture of spices including cumin and paprika. It is wonderful with chicken, fish, or roasted pork. Serve this dish with rice, beans, and a salad.
Ingredients:
8 cloves garlic, finely minced
½ cup minced yellow onion, finely minced
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (traditionally, 'sour' orange juice is used, but the addition of lime juice solves that issue)
½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (to add more tartness, add more lime juice)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano flakes
½ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco (this is optional if you want some 'fire')
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
