PINCHOS
Pinchos are grilled marinated chunks of pork or chicken on a stick, Puerto Rico's version of shish kebab. The traditional way to eat pinchos is with a slice of soft, warm bread. It's one of the island's most popular street foods, and some of my favorite childhood memories are of sitting and talking or dancing around by my cousin's roadside pinchos stand. There are lots of versions of pinchos, but what I think makes this recipe especially good is the use of sofrito, the magical Puerto Rican blend of herbs and aromatics that's the base of some of our tastiest dishes. Sofrito is easy to make yourself, or you can buy it premade.

Steps:
- Combine the sofrito, oil, sazon, adobo, onion powder, granulated garlic and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the pork and toss to coat. Marinate the meat at least overnight or 12 hours for best results.
- When ready to cook, remove the meat from the refrigerator. Drain off and discard the marinade. Preheat a grill to 450 degrees F or medium-high heat. Thread the meat onto 12- or 14-inch skewers, leaving a 3-inch space at the bottom of each skewer.
- Place the skewers on the grill and grill for 3 minutes. Carefully flip the skewers and grill the other side for 3 minutes. Flip the skewers again and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, then brush the pinchos with barbecue sauce. Flip once more and cook until the pinchos are browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the grill, brush again with barbecue sauce, and rest 5 minutes before serving. Toast the slices of bread on the grill; skewer one slice onto the top of each pincho.
PINCHOS (SPANISH KEBABS/TAPAS - PORK, LAMB, PRAWNS OR CHICKEN)
Enjoyed at bars all over Spain, pinchos are wonderful kebabs that taste equally good made with pork, chicken, prawns or lamb. At some bars, the seasoning is as simple as garlic and hot, sweet paprika. Here is a favorite marinade recipe for Pinchos Morunos. Recipe courtesy Anya von Bremzen, The Spanish Table. Time does not include 6-8 hours marination.

Steps:
- Place the onion, garlic, sweet and hot paprikas, 2 tsp of the salt, the oregano, peppercorns, thyme, cumin, cinnamon, bay leaf, vinegar, wine (if using) and olive oil in a mini food processor and process to a paste.
- Place the pork in a bowl and rub a little salt on it. Scrape the marinade into the bowl with the meat and toss to combine thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pork for 4-6 hours, tossing a few times. Let the meat come to room temperature before grilling.
- Light the grill and preheat it to medium-high or preheat a large ridged grill pan to medium-high over medium heat.
- When ready to cook, thread the meat onto the skewers and brush it with a little olive oil.
- Cook the meat, brushing with olive oil and turning once, until it is just cooked through, 5-7 minutes. (If you are cooking lamb and would like it medium-rare, don't cook it quite so long). Serve the kebabs at once.

- Piquillo Peppers Stuffed with Tuna. Step aside, padrón peppers! When it comes to pintxos, it’s all about the piquillos. These little red peppers pack some serious flavor.

- Classic Spanish Tortilla Pintxo. The good news about pintxos is that many typical tapas recipes can easily be turned into them—just add a skewer and some bread!
- Anchovy Pintxo. Forget everything you thought you knew about anchovies. In the Basque Country, these little fish are done right: caught fresh from the Cantabrian Sea and cured to perfection in salt or vinegar.
- Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onion Pintxo. Goat cheese and caramelized onion is one of those made-in-heaven flavor combos. The sweetness of the onion is the perfect complement to the tanginess of the goat cheese, and a great choice for vegetarians.

- Roasted Asparagus with Ham. Bright green asparagus takes an even more delicious turn in this guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Wrap each stalk in top-quality cured Spanish ham, sprinkle with Manchego cheese, and pop it in the oven for a few minutes to roast—pintxos recipes don’t get any easier than this!
