Latino Seasoning and Marinade

Adobo seasoning is spicy without the heat. We use Mojo often for grilled chicken and pork.

Adobo - Cuban Style Dry Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder or flakes

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

  • 1 tablespoon achiote powder

  • ½ tablespoon ground cumin

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a small glass jar with an airtight lid and shake to blend. Store in a cool, dry place.

Mojo - Cuban Marinade

  • 20 cloves garlic 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 and ½ cups sour orange juice (In a pinch, use two parts orange to One part lemon and one part lime) 1 cup minced onion

  • 1 teaspoon oregano

  • 1 and ½ cups Spanish olive oil

  • Mash garlic and salt into a paste, using a mortar and pestle. Stir in sour orange juice, onion, and oregano. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or longer.

  • In a saucepan, heat olive oil to the boiling point and remove from the heat. Whisk in the garlic-orange juice mixture until well blended.

  • There are several good bottled Mojo marinades available, like “BADIA” brand. The main thing is to read the label and be sure the main ingredient is real fruit juice, not chemicals.
