Directions
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!,A bit of a variation from what I have made previously. I spent 7 years in Spain and love the food. I am marinating my pork tenderloin in this now. Great flavors and tends not to dry out. Try it!!,A Rota reunion here ! I was there for 2 years, 1971–2! This recipe looks authentic and I’ll be trying it, and adding chilli.
