Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/3 cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves -- to 8 cloves, thinly sliced or minced
2/3 fresh sour orange juice -- or lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and
cook until fragrant and lightly toasted but not brown, about 30 seconds.

Add the sour orange juice, cumin, sand salt and pepper. Stand back: The
sauce may sputter. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil. Correct the
seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Cool before serving. Mojo tastes best when served within a couple of hours
of making, but it will keep for several days, covered, in the
refrigerator.

Makes 1 cup (16 one-tablespoon servings)

Mojo - pronounced Mo-ho - is Cuba's national table sauce. to be strictly
authentic, you'd use the acid juice of the sour orange (naranja agria), a
fruit that looks like a green bumpy orange but that tastes more like a
lime. Sour oranges can be found at Hispanic markets. Fresh lime juice
makes an acceptable substitute. Serve mojo on Cuban sandwiches, boiled
yuca, grilled [Favorites], and just about anything else.
