Caribbean Mojo

Mojo (mo-ho) is another Caribbean marinade that is used on chicken, pork, beef, and fish throughout the Islands.
The variations are countless, and each household has a differant flavor.
I use this recipe because it is basic and adds just the right amount of taste to any dish it is used in.
