Mojo grilling marinade

This cuban Mojo grilling marinade is excellent- for veggies, tofu, fish (white meat), fowl, beef, pork,etc.

The chimichurri sauce is also good, but not necessary.

I have been using it since the winter and it is a winner.  I have marinated fish or veggies like shark, eggplant or asparagus for 1 day, chicken for 2 days, beef/pork for 3 days and it adds incredible flavor and juciness.  Chicken or fish is unbelievable- it cooks evenly without going dry or burning like with sugary BBQ sauces.  It is foolproof.

I have been going asian with the seasonings, using ginger and soy additions, and it is promising, but the straight recipe is still better.  I have used vinegar based, lime juice based, dry spice based, wine based marinades and this one is the best I have tried so far.  It tastes very fruity, and not garlicy like you would think.

Salut!

Yum!  Perfect BBQ inspiration for the bout of hot weather we're having here in the uk  

Made the marinade for a BBQ this weekend. I made it a day in advance. Tested it right after and it was good. It reminds me of the Cuban restaurant we have around the corner from work. Used it a day later and it was even better. thanks for that.

De nada!  You can use it for a week or so- I will do veggies and tofu for a day each for a couple of days, then a skirt steak or london broil for 2-3 days, maybe another slab of beef, and then the last is chicken, fish, or pork.  I have found that any marinade goes off after those three, but before that, you could do veggies everyday for two weeks, or three beefs over 10 days- it's a long summer!
what did you cook?

Used it on a mixture of veggie kabobs and non veggie meat kabobs. Very tasty.
