Moorish Kebabs Tapas Recipe

Moorish Kebabs Tapas

From jencathen 15 years ago

Tapas bars all over Spain apply a moorish marinade to their meat. The kebabs can be used with pork, chicken or lamb.

2 TBSP chopped onion shopping list
4 large garlic cloves, chopped shopping list
1 TBSP smoked sweet Spanish paprika shopping list
1/2 tsp smoked hot Spanish paprika or 1/4 tsp cayenne shopping list
Kosher or sea salt shopping list
1 tsp dried oregano shopping list
1 tsp black peppercorns shopping list
2 tsp dried thyme shopping list
1 tsp ground cumin shopping list
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon shopping list
1 bay leaf, crumbled shopping list
2 TBSP best quality white wine vinegar shopping list
2 TBSP dry white wine (optional) shopping list
3 TBSP olive oil, plus more for brushing the kebabs shopping list
1 1/2 lb pork shoulder or tenderloin, leg of lamb, or chicken breasts or boneless skinless thighs, cut into 3/4 inch cubes shopping list

Place the onion, garlic, sweet and hot paprika, 2 tsp of salt, oregano, peppercorns, thyme, cumin, cinnamon, bay leaf, vinegar, wine (if using), and olive oil in a food processor and process to a paste.
Place the meat in a bowl and rub a little salt on it. Scrape the marinade into the bowl with the meat and combine thoroughly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the meat for 4 to 6 hours, tossing a few times.
Let the meat come to room temperature before grilling.
Soak 16 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Light the grill and preheat it to medium high.
Thread the meat onto the skewers and brush with olive oil.
Cook the meat, brushing with olive oil and turning once, until just cooked through about 5 to 7 minutes.
If you are cooking lamb and like it medium rare, lessen cooking time.

I love the ingredients - smoked paprika and cumin?
Oh ya - I will definately try this one. I will grind the cumin from seeds in the mortar and pestle - gives it a nice edge...
