Cuban Mojo is very important when trying to get that Cuban flavor into your meat. Mojo is also another one of those recipes that has a ton of variations depending on what part of the world you are in... I learned this recipe in my Abuela's kitchen many years ago and it has pleased many, many palates along the way. Enjoy!

  • 20 cloves Garlic, mashed
  • 1 cup Onion, minced
  • 2 tsp Salt

  • ⅓ cup Dry Sherry or Vino Seco
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil

Notes
If you are marinading a large piece of meat just double or triple the recipe amounts depending on your needs.

Inspired by the marinade my Abuela Mima used to make.
