Pinchos Morunos (Spanish Pork Skewers)
Spanish pork skewers, or pinchos morunos, are succulent pieces of marinated pork threaded onto skewers and grilled to perfection. Infused with a blend of spices including smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and garlic, these skewers deliver a burst of rich, smoky, and slightly spicy flavours reminiscent of Moorish influences in Spanish cuisine.
Method
- Trim any excess fat from the pork and slice into 3cm cubes.
- In a large bowl whisk together the herbs, spices, olive oil, and lemon juice. Place the pork into the bowl and massage the sauce into the meat.
- Cover and marinate for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
- Thread 3-4 chunks of pork onto small wooden or metal skewers, leaving a little space between each piece of meat. (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes before hand).
- Place under a hot grill until browned on the outside and just cooked through in the centre, 8-10 minutes.
- Rest for a couple of minutes before serving hot with lemon wedges.
