So tonight, in honor of Allie and Michael and their honeymoon in Hawaii, we had a tropical dinner. I guarantee that it was every bit as hot here as it is in Hawaii, so we got the full effect. I made the best marinade for the pork tenderloin that Dave made on the grill, so I have to share it. Truth be told, it isn't a Hawaiian marinade at all, more like a Cuban mojo. So here's the recipe:
1 head garlic, cloves peeled
juice of 3 oranges
juice of 3 limes
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
Either with a knife or in the food processor, make garlic, salt and pepper into a paste. Add lime and orange juice and oregano. Heat oil over medium low heat on the stove for about 5 minutes, then take it off the heat and whisk in garlic mixture. Cool, then pour over meat and marinade for 3-8 hours.
You could use this over pork, chicken, beef or fish. Just don't marinade the fish for more than an hour or you'll end up with ceviche : )
So good....
