Danny's Pinchitos



We had our fill of Pinchito's while in Spain. Oh so good! We would always order them when we went "tapa hopping" - what 8 year old do you know who tapa hopped? They would be served with a slice of  bread. Like a french bread slice, or bolillo bread. (there was nothing like the fresh bolillo breads in Spain with fresh unsalted real butter - individual "pats" in the shape of pasta shells , the pasta you would use to make stuffed shells! can you visualize it, or did i do a poor job of describing it?) Traditionally made with pork or beef, I usually use chicken as I did here. Plan ahead - needs to marinate overnight..
  • 1 lb cubed pork, or beef, or chicken


Marinade
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 2 Tbl lemon juice
  • 4 Tbl olive oil
  • 1/3 box  pinchito spice  ( or make your own below
    (You can also add sliced onions)


    Add marinade to cubed meat In a large ziplock bag.  Marinate overnight In the refrigerator. Grill on kabob skewers until desired doneness. about 3-4 minutes on each side

Spice mix:-
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
