Recipe of Moorish skewers

Vida Recetas Editorial

Moorish skewers are a classic of Spanish cuisine, especially popular at fairs and tapas bars. They are made with pork marinated in spices such as paprika, cumin, and oregano, which give them that characteristic flavor and unmistakable reddish color. This version is ideal for those looking for a quick and uncomplicated recipe: the meat comes already marinated from the butcher, reducing preparation time to just a few minutes of cooking.

The key to good Moorish skewers lies in searing the meat. Cooking them on a very hot griddle with a splash of extra virgin olive oil achieves a golden exterior and juicy interior. They are perfect for an informal meal, a dinner with friends, or even as an appetizer at a barbecue. They can be served alone, with bread, or accompanied by a yogurt sauce or aioli.

This recipe is suitable for cooks of all levels, even beginners. You only need skewer sticks and a large griddle or frying pan. In about 10 minutes you will have delicious skewers that will surprise your guests.

    In the meantime, the meat tacos begin to be impaled on wooden sticks for skewers. For each stick, put about 100 grams of meat.

  3. 3

    In my case, I bought the meat already with marinade at the butcher shop (they marinate it), so it is put on the grill and the skewer is moved so that all four sides of the meat are cooked
