How to Make Cubano Marinade
- Combine 1/2 cup chopped onion, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water in a blender.
- Blend on high speed until completely smooth.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the blender.
- Blend for another minute until well combined.
- Place your chosen protein (chicken, pork, or fish) in a resealable bag or shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. For best results, marinate overnight (chicken and pork).
- Marinate fish for no more than 20 minutes to prevent it from becoming tough.
- While cooking, brush the meat frequently with the remaining marinade for extra flavor and moisture.
