A recipe from Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition

Mojo Marinade (or Mojo Criollo) is a Cuban citrusy, garlicky marinade that has a slightly sour flavor. Use with pork, chicken, beef, fish, and even veggies.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup Oil, olive
20 each Garlic, cloves, raw
3 bunches Cilantro, fresh
1 bunch Oregano, fresh
3 cup Juice, orange
2 cup Juice, lime
1/2 cup Juice, lemon
3/4 cup Onion, yellow, raw, small diced
5 each Oranges, fresh, zested
3 each Limes, fresh, zested
1 tbsp Spice, cumin, ground
1 tbsp Spice, pepper, black, ground
1/2 tbsp Salt, Kosher

Steps:

Rinse the cilantro and oregano in cool, running water. Pull cilantro and oregano leaves, discard stems.
Using a blender, immersion blender, or food processor, combine olive oil and garlic cloves. Blend until smooth.
Add the cilantro and oregano leaves. Pulse the blender until herbs are chopped.

Add some of the orange juice to garlic mixture. This will help the herbs chop easily.

Pour the garlic mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, diced onion, orange zest, lime zest, cumin, pepper, and salt.
Mix to combine.
Cold hold marinade, covered, labeled, and dated, until needed.

Hold at 41°F or below.
