PINCHOS MORUNOS
This is the closest to the authentic pincho morunos recipe famously served by the Belkhir family for over 50 years in Bilbao. Pinchos morunos which translate to 'moorish skewers' are of North African origin and although majority of recipes tell you to use pork, authentic pincho morunos are made from lamb because pork meat is prohibited by Islamic dietary laws. The diced lamb is marinated overnight in a blend of North African spices before cooking them on a hot barbecue. The result are juicy Spanish skewers that will have your mind wandering to southern Spain and Morocco.

Steps:
- Place the diced lamb in a large bowl and add the cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, oregano, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Marinade the lamb for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.
- The next day, place the marinated lamb into steel skewers and cook on a hot barbecue for 2 minutes on each side.
- Squeeze some lemon juice and serve with some bread and a salad made from feta cheese, baby spinach, pomegranate seeds and fresh mint, dressed with olive oil and sherry vinegar.
PINCHOS MORUNOS RECIPE | GRILLING
Despite my love/hate relationship with skewered meat, the Moorish influenced spice mixture adorning the pork in these Pinchos Morunos creates a type of meat-on-a-stick that I can sure get behind.

Steps:
- To make the brine, whisk salt and sugar in cold water until completely dissolved. Place tenderloin in brine and place in refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours.
- While pork is brining, mix together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, turmeric, salt, thyme, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Remove tenderloin from brine. Pat dry with paper towel and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes. Place pork in a large resealable bag and pour in spice mixture. Seal bag and toss to thoroughly coat pork in marinade. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 to 2 hours. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in cold water.
- Remove pork from refrigerator and thread onto pre-soaked wooden skewers. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over entire surface of coal grate. Alternatively, set all the burners of a gas grill to high heat. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Grill skewers over high heat until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total.
- Remove to a platter, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with lemon wedges.

ANDALUCIAN PINCHITOS MORUNOS - MOORISH SAFFRON MEAT SKEWERS
Pinchitos Morunos (Moorish Skewers) are extremely popular as a Tapa, partuclarly in Andalucia. They are of Moorish origin, and are usually made from Lamb or Pork, I have used Chicken as the meat in this recipe, but I have listed other options! They are marinated in a Moorish saffron & spice mix and usually grilled outside and over charcoal or wood; however, they also cook beautifully on a griddle or in a heavy griddle type pan inside, during the cooler months. These are my favourite meat skewers and make a regular appearance on the "Al Fresco Lunch Table" during the Summer months. Great finger food for friends - or you can increase the quantities and make a meal of them. Serve them with a simple Tomato & Parsley Salad with my Sherry Vinegar Dressing, Flatbreads & Pickles for a true taste of Spain!

- 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.

PINCHOS
Pinchos are grilled marinated chunks of pork or chicken on a stick, Puerto Rico's version of shish kebab. The traditional way to eat pinchos is with a slice of soft, warm bread. It's one of the island's most popular street foods, and some of my favorite childhood memories are of sitting and talking or dancing around by my cousin's roadside pinchos stand. There are lots of versions of pinchos, but what I think makes this recipe especially good is the use of sofrito, the magical Puerto Rican blend of herbs and aromatics that's the base of some of our tastiest dishes. Sofrito is easy to make yourself, or you can buy it premade.

Steps:
- Combine the sofrito, oil, sazon, adobo, onion powder, granulated garlic and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the pork and toss to coat. Marinate the meat at least overnight or 12 hours for best results.
- When ready to cook, remove the meat from the refrigerator. Drain off and discard the marinade. Preheat a grill to 450 degrees F or medium-high heat. Thread the meat onto 12- or 14-inch skewers, leaving a 3-inch space at the bottom of each skewer.
- Place the skewers on the grill and grill for 3 minutes. Carefully flip the skewers and grill the other side for 3 minutes. Flip the skewers again and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, then brush the pinchos with barbecue sauce. Flip once more and cook until the pinchos are browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the grill, brush again with barbecue sauce, and rest 5 minutes before serving. Toast the slices of bread on the grill; skewer one slice onto the top of each pincho.
