Andalucian Pinchitos Morunos - Moorish Saffron Meat Skewers


1. Cut the chicken breasts,lamb or pork into cubes about 1" in size. Flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand.

2. Place the meat in a large bowl and add the dried spices, garlic & salt, saffron infused water, oregano, bay leaf and vinegar - mix thouroughly.

3. 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.

4. Light the barbecue about half an hour before cooking and allow the charcoal or wood to flare and then glow.

5. If cooking inside, turn the grill up to high, or use a smoking hot griddle or griddle pan.

6. Thread the meat on to the skewers.

7. 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).

8. 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.
