Place the garlic cloves on a cutting board, sprinkle with ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, and use the flat side of a chef's knife to mash and scrape the garlic into a smooth paste.
-
Step 2.
Transfer the garlic paste to a medium bowl. Add the sour orange juice (or the mixture of lime and orange juices), olive oil, dried oregano, ground cumin, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Stir with a fork or whisk until well combined and the salt is dissolved.

Step 3.
Let the sauce sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
