Cuban Mojo

½ cup olive oil
½ cup lime juice
½ cup orange juice
6 Tbsp. crushed garlic (about 20 cloves)
1 tsp. ground cumin
½ Tbsp. salt

Crush garlic with salt; the salt crystals help break down the garlic into a paste. In a medium sauce pan, heat olive oil to a medium temperature. Add garlic and stir just for 2 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant. Don't let it burn - if you do, it will taste bitter. Add lime juice and orange juice, turning up the heat until mixture comes to a boil. Turn down heat to low, add cummin and let simmer for 10 minutes. Take pot off of heat, bring it to room temperature and serve.
