Servings: persons

1 slice white bread
4 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for frying
2 garlic cloves
5 dried cayenne chillis
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp sweet pimenton
2 tsp sherry vinegar
500 g (17.6oz) pork fillet
1 tsp hot or sweet pimenton (paprika)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 drizzle olive oil

1
Trim the pork fillet of any excess fat and then cut into 2-cm cubes.
2
Place the meat in a large mixing bowl and add the pimenton, cumin, some black pepper, oregano, thyme and garlic.
3
Mix well, drizzle over the olive oil and leave to marinate for at least an hour, but anything up to 2 days is fine.
4
Meanwhile, make the mojo picon.
5
Start by frying the bread in a little olive oil, drain on kitchen paper and tear into pieces.
6
Using a pestle and mortar, mash together the garlic, cayenne chillies, cumin seeds, pimenton, fried bread, vinegar and salt until you have a smooth paste.
7
You could also use a food processor for this bit.
8
Start adding the olive oil in a thin drizzle while you are still mixing.
9
When you are ready to cook the pinchos, thread the meat on to skewers (if you are using wooden skewers its a good idea to soak them in water for 30 minutes to stop them burning).
10
Pinchos morunos can be cooked over charcoal (the best way, in my opinion), under a hot grill or in a griddle pan over a very high heat.
