This zesty Mojo marinade is a versatile vegan staple that brings the bright, sunny flavours of the Caribbean to your kitchen. A vibrant blend of fresh orange, citrus juices and aromatic garlic, it provides a punchy acidic base balanced by the earthy notes of fresh oregano and a gentle heat from sliced jalapeños. It is an excellent way to add a depth of savoury flavour to plant-based proteins or seasonal vegetables before they hit the grill.

Ideal for summer barbecues or adding zest to a mid-week traybake, this marinade also doubles as a finishing sauce to keep your dish moist and fragrant. While often used for traditional roasting, it works beautifully with thick slices of cauliflower, firm tofu or King Oyster mushrooms. Ensure you allow at least three hours for marinating to achieve the best results.
