8 servings
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup sour orange juice (from about 3 sour oranges), or ¼ cup fresh orange juice plus ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
