TRADITIONAL CUBAN RECIPE: CUBAN MOJO (CUBAN MARINADE)
There are many variations of mojo. It is the signature marinade of Cuba and it finds its way into many varied dishes. After searching through many recipes and cookbooks; I found this in on www.icuban.com and in "Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban" by: three brothers-in-law, Glenn Lindgren, Raul Musibay and Jorge Castillo. Many mojos do not include oil; with or without oil the key element is "sour" orange, an almost bitter orange that grows throughout Cuba and now it flourishes in most Miami backyards. In a pinch use: 2 parts orange juice to 1 part lemon juice and 1 part lime juice. The key to a good mojo is in the proportions; garlic, salt, whole black peppercorns and sour orange juice are it's main ingredients.Update: 04/14/08 add a teaspoon of cumin (if you so desire) there are many recipes that call for it but we don't use it here! I have been using this mojo since I left my mother's house, as we always used it in Cuba and Haiti.:)

Steps:
- Mash garlic, salt and peppercorns, using a mortar and pestle or use food processor.
- Stir in juice.
- Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes or longer at room temperature.
- *If making it without the oil - stop at this point and this makes a perfect marinade for seasoning, chicken, fish, pork &/or beef.
- Continue with preparing the mojo with oil - after you have stirred in juice add onion & oregano.
- Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes or longer at room temperature.
- In a saucepan heat olive oil to medium hot & then remove from heat.
- Whisk oil in garlic-juice mixture, until well blended.
- Stores for at least a week in the refrigerator.
Tips:
- Choose the right whiskey for your marinade. A smoky whiskey will impart a bolder flavor than a lighter whiskey. If you're new to whiskey marinades, start with a milder whiskey like a bourbon or a blended scotch.
- Use fresh herbs and spices in your marinade. This will help to create a flavorful and aromatic marinade that will penetrate the meat and enhance its flavor.
- Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. Marinating the meat for too long can make it tough and dry.
- If you're using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat before cooking the meat. This will help to sear the outside of the meat and lock in the juices.
- Cook the meat to your desired doneness. For a juicy and tender steak, cook it to medium-rare or medium.
Conclusion:
Whiskey mojo marinade is a versatile and flavorful marinade that can be used on a variety of meats. It's perfect for grilled, roasted, or pan-fried meats. The whiskey adds a smoky and complex flavor to the meat, while the citrus and herbs brighten up the flavor.
