Mojo Marinade
Inspired by the flavors of Cuba, this tart, citrusy blend for pork or fish is based on sour Seville oranges, garlic, and oregano.
This is enough to marinate 2 pounds of pork (tenderloin, shoulder, or bone-in chops) or fish (firm, white-fleshed fish such as sea bass; shrimp or scallops).

Makes about 2 1/2 cups
