GF? Yep. Paleo? Yeah, that too. Devoid of anything that would offend a vegan? Check. Talk about a recipe for a happy Thanksgiving.

Rumor has it "mojito" translates roughly as "little spell." We'll willingly fall under the spell of rum, mint, and sugar any day.

Tastes just like the terrific pollo a la brasa with the insane green sauce at the local Peruvian joint—minus the long wait in line.
