These kebabs are a great way to use up leftover pork. I love the way the marinade tenderizes the meat.

These kebabs were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less paprika next time.

These kebabs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have marinated them for longer next time.

These kebabs were a great way to use up some leftover pork. I marinated them for a few hours and then grilled them over medium heat. The pork was perfectly cooked and the flavor was amazing.

Scrumptious pinchitos morunos! The pork was tender and flavorful, and the marinade added a delicious savory taste. I served them with grilled vegetables and a side of hummus, and it was a hit with my family.
