MOJO MARINATED PORK
Steps:
- Combine 4 cups of the orange juice and 1 cup of the lime juice and zest in a large saucepan over high heat and reduce to 2 cups. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining orange juice and lime juice add a few cloves of garlic and 1/4 cup of the oregano. Let cool to room temperature.
- Using a paring knife, make small slits over the entire surface of the pork and rub the garlic into the slashes. Whisk together the oil and remaining 1/4 cup of the oregano in a large roasting pan, add the pork and turn to coat, cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and continue roasting, basting with the marinade during the last 30 minutes of roasting until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 150 degrees F. Remove from the oven, baste with any remaining glaze, tent loosely and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the pork with the Mojo Dipping Sauce and the Plantains with Rum and Brown Sugar.
- Using a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic, serrano, cilantro and a few pinches of salt until it becomes a paste. Add the orange juice, lime juice and oil and stir to combine.
- Heat butter in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the sugar and cook until melted. Add the plantains and cook until soft and heated through. Remove pan from the heat, add the rum, return to the heat and cook until the alcohol has reduced.
MOJO GARLIC RESTAURANT SAUCE
I have in the past gone to the Dominican and Cuban area in upper Manhattan (NYC) and have eaten Cubano Sandwiches... especially from the Mambi Restaurants. However, they do not make the original Mojo Garlic Sauce any longer (as far as I know, perhaps due to the turnover of restaurant chefs) which was great! So I have tried (for a long time) to duplicate the original Mojo recipe (but with difficulty). However, here is my version of this tasty Mojo Sauce for Cubano Sandwiches!

Steps:
- Place garlic, salt, oregano, (optional cumin, black pepper and Adobo seasoning) into a wooden mortar & pestle and make into almost a paste, set aside.
- Combine in a separate bowl; lime juice (or sour orange juice), vinegar, set aside.
- In a frying pan add the olive oil and add the garlic paste, stir and cook briefly (1/2-1 minute).
- Next add the liquid ingredients, stir and cook briefly (1 minute), then remove (do not overcook) and let cool.
- NOTES:.
- This recipe is basically a Dominican/Cuban sauce and adopted from the Mambi Restaurants in New York City.
- This Mojo Sauce recipe will turn a bright "off color" green due to the fresh garlic in the recipe.
- You can make a variation of this recipe by adding mayonnaise to taste, however, it is not a traditional ingredient in Cubano Sandwiches. Also, adding butter is an optional ingredient --
- Mojo Sauce is great on a Cubano Sandwich: Cuban bread (substitute Italian/French Bread) with sliced fresh pork, sliced pink ham, white cheese, sour pickle, butter and Mojo Sauce. Heat/pressing the sandwich on a hot grill is preferred... however, Cubano sandwiches are also good cold. Further, I often substitute chicken for the white fresh pork....
- In Cuba,Mojo Sauce is traditionally made with the fresh juice from sour oranges.
- Mojo Sauce is also good on Yuka (Cassava) or Green Plantains as well.
- The Puerto Rican Mojo Sauce is white in color and with less spices used.

TRADITIONAL CUBAN RECIPE: CUBAN MOJO (CUBAN MARINADE)
There are many variations of mojo. It is the signature marinade of Cuba and it finds its way into many varied dishes. After searching through many recipes and cookbooks; I found this in on www.icuban.com and in "Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban" by: three brothers-in-law, Glenn Lindgren, Raul Musibay and Jorge Castillo. Many mojos do not include oil; with or without oil the key element is "sour" orange, an almost bitter orange that grows throughout Cuba and now it flourishes in most Miami backyards. In a pinch use: 2 parts orange juice to 1 part lemon juice and 1 part lime juice. The key to a good mojo is in the proportions; garlic, salt, whole black peppercorns and sour orange juice are it's main ingredients.Update: 04/14/08 add a teaspoon of cumin (if you so desire) there are many recipes that call for it but we don't use it here! I have been using this mojo since I left my mother's house, as we always used it in Cuba and Haiti.:)

TOSTONES WITH GARLIC MOJO DIPPING SAUCE
Crispy twice-fried plantains are a staple throughout many Latin American countries, including Puerto Rico, where my family is from. They're eaten at just about any time of day and in many ways-as a side dish along with entrees like pork or fish, as the base for savory party canapes or even as a salty late-night bar snack with a variety of dipping sauces. Here we serve them with garlic mojo (from the Spanish word "mojar" which means "to wet")-a tangy and spicy condiment made with fresh citrus juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs. Mojo is typically made with sour orange juice from Seville oranges, but as those aren't readily available you can use a mix of lime and regular orange juice to approximate the flavor.

Steps:
- For the mojo: Finely mince or use a rasp grater to grate the garlic into a small bowl or the base of a mortar and pestle. Add the salt and pepper and use a fork or the pestle to mash into a paste. Strip the oregano and cilantro leaves off the stems and add them to the bowl, mashing them into the paste. Whisk in the sour orange juice or equal parts lime and orange juice and the olive oil. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Set aside while you prepare the tostones.
- For the tostones: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven until it reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- While the oil heats, peel the plantains and cut on the bias into 2-inch-thick pieces.
- Fry the plantains in batches until crisp and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper-towel-lined baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining plantains.
- Move the pot the off the heat (do not discard the oil).
- Line a cutting board with parchment paper and gather a flat-bottomed glass and small bowl of water. Place a fried plantain on the parchment paper, dip the bottom of the glass in the water and use it to smash the plantain to about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with the rest of the plantains.
- Put the oil on the heat again and bring it back up to 325 degrees F. Fry the smashed plantains in batches until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and serve hot with the garlic mojo dipping sauce.
