Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1
In a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic cloves with the kosher salt until a smooth paste forms with no large chunks remaining. Alternatively, press the garlic through a garlic press and stir in the salt.
2
Transfer the garlic paste to a small saucepan. Add the sour orange juice, lime juice, cumin, oregano, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
