Goya "MOJO CRIOLLO" marinade ..... anyone tried it?

[classicrockgriller]

Been looking at the La Caja China cook box and they use a mojo marinade. I found this one at sams. A 3 pk is $6.



A blend of orange juice, lemon juice, garlic,onion,salt,spices,sugar.

Never seen it...   How can it be bad?

Soak some pork loin chops in it and Traeger them...

It's a cuban sauce. They take the butts and trim the fat and remove the bone. Flatten the butt alittle. put different stuff and roll up the butt and tie off with a string and use this to marinate.

I had the La Caja China #3   Didnt like the results. Hope you get better than i did.

Mojo is Cuban garlic sauce, Good stuff.

My son in law is PR. Here is his recipe.

4 Cups Orange Juice
1/2 Cup Lime Juice
1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
3 Tbsp Salt
1 head of Garlic
8 large sprigs fresh Oregano
1 small bunch Cilantro
2 medium onions



Dump juices into a container with tight fitting top
Chop onions & add to juice
Finely mince Oregano & Cilantro  add to juice

Peel Garlic Cloves & run through a Garlic Press - add salt to garlic & "grind" it together, to make a paste - let this stand for 1 hour & dump into juice.

Shake it up & Let it sit overnight before using.

Of course the Goya is easier and ready to go  ;D

Thanks nepas. I knew the mojo was a cuban marinade and think I will marinade a butt and smoke it on Sunday after hunting and see what happens.

Do you happen to know what he uses as a seasoning with the marinade?

I am going to try the smoke pistol with the La Caja China and or a pre smoke in bradley.

Here is a biggie on EBay..


[edit]

I think it is a knock-off.

[classicrockgriller]

That is the med one, he shows the pic of a large and says it hold a 100 pig but, the large is 24 not 20 in height.

That is still a good deal.

Hey this Garlic sauce do you use it to marinade anything or just your butts.

Chicken too.

[classicrockgriller]

Q, says it's for chicken, pork, and beef.

Sweet, I am going to try this out. I like the citrus juice for helping to tenderize the meat and for the flavours.
Thanks CRG and FLBR.
