CUBAN MOJO SAUCE
This is a tangy garlic garlic-citrus sauce that is as beautiful to serve as it is to eat. I serve this along side sweet potato empanadas and carnitas. The recipe is from Sara Perry's "Everything Tastes Better with Garlic" by way of the Best American Recipe series. All of the ingredients should be fresh.

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.:)

Steps:
- To roast the garlic: drizzle each bulb with olive oil, wrapping in aluminum foil. Roast in oven at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.
- Let garlic cool enough to handle. Breaking the bulbs apart, squeeze the individual cloves into a small food processor, pour in moonshine and blend together. When mixed, scrape contents into a large bowl.
- If desired, remove seeds from peppers. I leave the seeds, tossing the entire pepper into the processor ~ minus the stem of course.
- Puree 4-5 habanero peppers, add to garlic mixture.
- Puree 10-12 jalapeno peppers, add to garlic mixture.
- Puree baby carrots, making 1 cup of carrot puree, add to garlic mixture.
- Thoroughly mix together.
- Depending on your desired consistency of the hot sauce, spoon into 1 or 2 clean and sterilized mason jars. Cover just over the top of the carrot-garlic-pepper mixture with white vinegar.
- The hot sauce will have a sharp bite at first, let sit in refrigerator for a week for the flavors to blend and mellow.
