Print recipe
Tips
As the name implies, this fruit has a very sour flavor.
These oranges are mainly used in marmalade. The juice can also be used as a tenderizer for meat dishes like carne asada.
Mix sour orange juice with your favorite fruit juice for a refreshing and delicious drink.
Ingredients (yields 2 ½ cups)
¼ cup garlic, chopped
½ cup onion, chopped
2 cups freshly squeezed sour orange juice
½ cup fresh lime juice
½ cup olive oil
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
In a bowl, mix together the garlic, onions, orange juice, and lime juice.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan until just smoking.
Slide the contents of the bowl into the hot oil. Be very careful because the liquid will splatter.
Simmer for 5 minutes to soften the onions and garlic.
Season the marinade with the rest of the ingredients.
Pour everything into a blender or food processor and pulse 3 times to combine.
Pour into a plastic container and cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.
Mojito Marinade keeps for up to 2 weeks.
