How to Make Basic Mojo Sauce

  1. Combine 6 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup chopped white onion, and 1 tablespoon dried oregano in a food processor.
  2. Process for 2-3 minutes, or until completely smooth and well combined.
  3. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil through the feed tube until fully incorporated and emulsified.
  4. Transfer the Mojo sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
