Cuban Mojo Marinade
This fresh and zesty Cuban mojo marinade for chicken blends bright citrus fruits with fresh herbs for a summer grill recipe your family will love.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup fresh orange juice hand squeezed from fresh oranges OR substitute your favorite brand prepared orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup cilantro about 1 handful
- 4 - 6 mint leaves
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons ground cumin
- Kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a food processor add the orange juice, lime juice, cilantro, mint, and minced garlic. Pulse until everything is chopped finely but not fully pureed. If you don't have a processor, you can chop everything by hand.
- Combine the juice and herb blend with the olive oil, oregano, cumin, and salt and pepper. We just shook it up in a mason jar.
- Use to marinate the chicken overnight or for at least several hours. Cook as desired, but watch for burning because of the fruit juices.
