ANDALUSIAN PORK ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix parsley and garlic in small bowl. Place pork between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Using mallet, pound pork to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut each pork cutlet into 5x3-inch rectangle. Top each with 1 ham slice. Sprinkle with parsley mixture. Starting at short end, roll up each cutlet; secure with toothpicks. Dip into egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs.
• Pour oil into deep medium skillet to depth of 1 inch and heat to 375°F. Add pork rolls and fry until golden and cooked through, about 13 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Cut rolls crosswise into 3/4-inch-wide slices.

ANDALUCIAN PINCHITOS MORUNOS - MOORISH SAFFRON MEAT SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts,lamb or pork into cubes about 1" in size. Flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand.
• Place the meat in a large bowl and add the dried spices, garlic & salt, saffron infused water, oregano, bay leaf and vinegar - mix thouroughly.
• Then add the olive oil - mix again thoroughly, cover with cling film and leave in the fridge for between 2 & 12 hours, so the flavours mingle and marinade into the meat.
• Light the barbecue about half an hour before cooking and allow the charcoal or wood to flare and then glow.
• If cooking inside, turn the grill up to high, or use a smoking hot griddle or griddle pan.
• Thread the meat on to the skewers.
• Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the outside is charred and the inside is still juicy but cooked. (NOT pink for pork and chicken - but pink for lamb).
• Season well with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped flat leaf parsley or fresh coriander (Cilantro), serve with a selection of salads, flat breads, pickles and Sherry vinegar dressing.
