    Mojo marinade varies from region to region, reflecting the diverse influences in Hispanic cooking – a blend of Spanish, African, and Indigenous Taíno traditions. It's this rich tapestry that gives mojo its complexity and depth.

    Mojo is perfect for poultry, especially Roasted Chicken, adding depth. It's also an excellent choice for marinating pork, particularly for dishes like Cuban-style mojo pork. Marinating vegetables for a Grilled Vegetable Medley is a game-changer. Mojo infuses them with flavor and turns a simple side dish into a star.
