Hello. I recently acquired 5 Sour Oranges and I want to put them to
good use. Being from St. Louis they are hard to come by. I'm hearing
mouth watering stories of Cuban Pork Mojo, and I was wondering if
someone had a recipe for it on the grill. Or am I better off doing
this one in the kitchen?

Should work fine grilled.

Mojo (Puerto Rican-Cuban garlic sauce) Servings: about 1/2 cup

Olive oil, good quality 1/2 c
Garlic peeled, crushed 4-6 cloves
Lemon or lime juice 1 good squeeze
Salt pinch

METHOD

1. Put all ingredients into a blender or mortar and blend till smooth.
2. Adjust the amount of salt or juice to taste.

VARIATIONS

Add a little squeeze of orange juice for an authentic sour orange flavor.

Add a little dried oregano.
Add a little water or chicken stock to the sauce to thin it out a bit if
you like.

NOTES

This sauce (pronounced MO-ho) is used in Puerto Rico and Cuba as an
accompaniment to tostones, deep-fried plantain chips.

Mojo can also be used as a simple marinade for pork.

Feliz Navidad!
