Mojo Criolli Recipe Video

Mojo (pronounced mo-ho, not mo-joe) is a Latin do-everything condiment. A mojo is made of garlic, herbs, olive oil, and citrus, and there is no end to the variations. I like to add cilantro to mine. No Cuban meal would be complete without mojo. Splash it on everything from seafood, to vegetables to sandwiches. The citrus fruit of choice is Naranja Agria, or sour orange. You can find them at specialty latin markets, (you can substitute narajan agria juice, with 2 parts lemon juice to 1 part orange juice).
