Refered to as Cuba's barbecue sauce, it's more of a garlic/cumin vinaigrette flavored with sour orange juice that is splashed on just about everything-it is delish! If you have a sour orange source-lucky you! If not see the note at the end of the recipe instructions for another option. If you hate cilantro use flat leaf parsley.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
10 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup sour orange juice
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped fine

1. In a medium or large saucepan heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add garlic and cook until JUST light brown.
3. Turn off heat and let stand 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the sour orange juice, water, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper.
