SOUR ORANGE, RED ONION, AND PARSLEY MOJO



Sour Orange, Red Onion, and Parsley Mojo image

This recipe differs slightly from classic mojo in that it uses red onion instead of garlic. It's best to make this mojo a bit ahead of time so that the color of the red onion "bleeds" into the sour orange. The traditional accompaniment is grilled pork, but it's also wonderful with well-roasted chicken - charring its skin brings out the full flavors of the mojo.
