Mojo Marinade - From the movie 'CHEF'

Please share this video on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Reddit.
here is the recipe:
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup lightly packed cilantro, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. finely grated orange zest
¾ cup fresh orange juice
½ cup fresh lime juice
¼ cup lightly packed mint leaves, finely chopped
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. minced oregano
2 tsp. ground cumin
Kosher salt and pepper
3½ lbs. boneless pork shoulder, in one piece
-- In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag and add the pork. Seal the bag and turn to coat; set in a baking dish and refrigerate overnight.

-- Preheat the oven to 425° and set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the pork to a work surface; discard the marinade. Fold the pork under itself, into thirds if necessary, and tie with string to form a neat roll. Season all over with salt and pepper and set it on the rack.

-- Roast the pork for 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Reduce the oven temperature to 375° and roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°; transfer to a carving board and let rest for 30 minutes. Discard the string before slicing across the grain.

Hey Chef, love your channel. As a descendant of Cuban parents, I gotta say you touched my heart with this dish. (the oh boy; here it comes part) LMAO.
When my grandmother would prepare the Mojo, we would crush our garlic, use lemon, lime & sour oranges along with oregano, cumin salt & pepper olive oil (Spanish of course, LOL) only as that was our traditional recipe from my parents region of Cuba. We would warm the oil and add garlic and the juice combo along with herb and lightly saute them for simple traditional mojo. That is a Mojo sauce stand alone. Now with the marinading a pork, we would use same ingredients but we would use a round knife steel to poke holes into the pork to force the marinade into. This would really allow the pork to absorb the marinade well as oppose to just the outside with some penetrating inwards.
Something we in our family we extremely big on in our Mojo was the Garlic part. For the amount of Mojo I saw we would have probably used about 4 heads of garlic but that was just us.
Thanks for all the videos you make, I've tried a few of them and love them. Keep it coming.

Good trick jack, to get the air out of zip lock bags submerge them upto the top in water this will squeeze the air out to almost a vacuum with no effort at all, love the show!

Chef is an excellent feel-good movie. I hadn't even considered it until you mentioned it.

Jack you can use your blender and make a thick slurry of your extra herbs (in ready mixed combos or individually), then freeze in ice cube trays. Once frozen, remove and place cubes into freezer bags and store for use during the "winter" months until your garden grows again. Don't forget to label them lol. You can also freeze them in whole leaf as well, just strip leaves place in trays and fill with water, freeze and store. If you want longer storage options you can freeze them using olive oil instead of water. These will store for much longer and helps resists browning and freezer burn. Don't throw the stems out though as they can be frozen and used in stocks. After stripping leaves, roughly chop then cram as many as you can into a small container (I use a tall, slim double shot glass set that I have), then freeze, remove, bag and store.  These cubes also make a great gift.

Love that carving knife ---can't wait for the next video...

Hi Jack, invest in a dehydrator and dehydrate your left over herbs and put it in a jar you won't have to buy dried spices or herbs as you accumulate them. Just a suggestion. I do it all the time. You can grab your home grown oregano before it dies and dehydrate it:))

I wish you would have tried it... Looked amazing.

Jack, just thought you should know that using oranges work, however, for an authentic mojo marinade you need a variety of oranges very rarely found anywhere but Florida in the US. I'm not quite sure what the actual name of the oranges are, but we commonly refer to them as "sour oranges", because in fact, the fruit itself does not have an ounce of sweetness in it, unlike regular oranges.

Great Presentation Jack!! >>> Your Mississippi Delta Fan Club <<<

[SamplesDan]

Jack, im pretty sure you are supposed to squeeze the edges of the fruit to get the most juice out not just rotate it.

I just saw this movie Chef a couple of months ago causee i am a Chef and i was completly amazed, i even wanna get my own foodtruck for Ecuador we dont have many of those here, is usch a awesome movie and i have tried to make Cuban Sandwiches few times but never with Mojo marinade it just seems awesome, so im gonna try it for sure, im new in ur channel and im watching all ur videos, its really great congrats.

Best way to keep fresh herbs is vacuum sealer i.e. a Food saver. They can be a pretty penny (about $100+) but they are worth the expense in the long run for its varied uses.  Hack: the foodsaver brand bags are an expensive consumable. You can get rolls comparable bags with the necessary  "air channels" via ebay dirt cheap. However, I wouldn't buy the machine via ebay w/o a some type of warranty. Last I did it cut out after only a few uses. Best to buy it is from walmart and upgrade with a protection plan for 6 bucks.
