Mojo (pronounced mo-ho) is a Cuban marinade and sauce that typically includes oil, garlic, cilantro, salt, and sometimes hot peppers such as jalapeno. But the hallmark of the sauce is the heavy emphasis on citrus, particularly sour orange. It can be used to marinate beef, fish, or chicken and also makes an excellent sauce. Traditionally, the base of the Cuban Mojo Chicken sauce is a mix of citrus juice, garlic and olive oil. For this recipe, delicious fresh oranges were used, together with a combination of herbs.
