Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin (450g (or other lean pork cut))
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander ((or 1tsp, to taste))
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika ((smoked or sweet Spanish, as you have))
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds (, ground if not already)
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic (grated or crushed)
  • a few grinds black pepper

Instruction

  • Trim the pork of any excess flat and sinew. Cut into approx 1.5in/3cm dice - if using pork tenderloin, vcut in half lengthwise then cut into slices.
  • Mix together all the remaining ingredients - the spices (cumin, coriander, oregano, paprika, turmeric, fennel seeds, allspice and cinnamon), salt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and pepper into a paste. Add the diced pork, ensure it is well covered with the marinade then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight would also be good.
  • When ready to cook, thread the pork onto skewers - try to put the pieces on so that they flatten out slightly and are even in thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Cook on the grill for a few minutes each side until just charring and cooked through - exact cooking time will vary depending on thickness of pork and grill heat etc.
  • Serve with other tapas of your choice (eg tortilla, pan tomate, salad) and enjoy!
