Cuban garlic-citrus sauce, pronounced mo-ho, is Cuba's national table sauce, served on just about everything.
NOTE: Sour orange juice can be found in Latino markets.
Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly toasted but not brown, about 30 seconds.
Add the sour orange juice, cumin, and salt and pepper. Stand back; The sauce may sputter. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil. Correct the seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Cool before serving. Moho tastes best when served within a couple of hours of making, but it will keep for several days, covered, in the refrigerator. Submitted By MICHAEL ORCHEKOWSKI On 08-09-95
