Mojo

1/2c cilantro leaves
1/2c mint leaves
3 tbsp water
1 tbsp EVO oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove

To prepare mojo, combine cilantro and next 5 ingredients (through 1 garlic clove) in a food processor; process until smooth. Place in a small bowl. Combining mint with cilantro adds a refreshing element to the mojo, a Caribbean condiment consisting of garlic, citrus juice, and oil. Mojo is Cuba's symbolic seasoning. It is a tart condiment that perks up everything on the meal table, from grilled seafood, meats and tostones, to boiled viandes and Cuban sandwiches. Traditional mojo includes olive oil, garlic, sour-orange juice, cumin, oregano and black pepper, but most restaurants have a simple version made with lemon juice, vinegar and sugar with sliced onions or chopped garlic.
