Ingredients

  • 1 kg pork tenderloin
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cumin (ground)
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tbsp sweet paprika powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • 1 piece fresh lemon

Preparation

  • 1
    Remove excess fat from the pork tenderloin, cut into approx. 4 cm cubes, and place in a large freezer bag.
  • 2
    In a small bowl, mix all spices, olive oil, and lemon juice. Pour the marinade over the meat cubes.
  • 3
    Seal the bag well, mix everything vigorously so that the meat is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 2 hours).
  • 4
    Remove the marinated meat cubes from the bag and thread them onto metal skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  • 5
    Grill the skewers over high heat until the meat is nicely browned on the outside but still juicy on the inside. Caution: Do not grill for too long to prevent the meat from drying out!
  • 6
    Let the skewers rest for five minutes before serving and serve garnished with fresh lemon slices.
Tip
Traditionally, serve the Pinchos with some white bread or aioli.
