Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
7 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt (I USED about ¼!)
1 medium-size onion, very thinly sliced and minced
1 teaspoon bay leaves, ground
1 tablespoon basil, ground
1 teaspoon cumin, ground

1/2 cup sour (Seville) orange juice
OR
1/4 cup sweet orange juice, MIXED WITH
1/8 cup each fresh lime and lemon juice
Directions:
Directions:
Using a mortar and pestle or a food processor, crush the garlic with the salt to form a thick paste. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic paste, onion, spices and juice, and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or longer.

Minutes before you are ready to serve the mojo, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a medium-size pan until it is very hot, add the garlic mixture (do this quickly because it will splatter), stir, and serve immediately. To reheat, simmer over low heat until heated through, 6 to 8 minutes. The sauce keeps several weeks refrigerated.

serves/makes 1 cup. This is an excellent steak marinade. Better yet, sear the steak on both sides in the steaming mixture before grilling.
