In Puerto Rico pinchos are grilled pork or chicken kabobs. They are just to die for! They are served with a slice of bread at the very tip. If you don't have a pilón (mortar and pestle) you can mix your marinade in a food processor or blender. From about.com.

Steps:
- Using a pilón (mortar and pestle), mash the garlic cloves and salt into a paste.
- Mix in the pepper and oregano. Stir in the olive oil and vinegar. Set the marinade aside.
- Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes.
- Cover the pork pieces with the marinade and let set in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my kabobs didn't turn out as well as I expected. The pork was a bit tough and the marinade didn't seem to do much.

[email protected]These pork kabobs were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would marinate the pork for longer next time.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of pork, but these kabobs were surprisingly good. The marinade really helped to tenderize the pork and give it a great flavor. I would definitely make these again.

[email protected]These pork kabobs are so easy to make and they're always delicious. I love that you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand. I usually use bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, but you could also use zucchini, squash, or tomatoes.

[email protected]I've been making these pork kabobs for years, and they're always a hit. The marinade is the key to the flavor, and I always make sure to let the pork marinate for at least a few hours before grilling.

[email protected]These pork kabobs are a great way to use up leftover pork. I usually make them with pork tenderloin, but you can also use pork loin or chops. The marinade is simple to make and really adds flavor to the pork.

[email protected]I love making these kabobs for parties because they're always a crowd-pleaser. The pork is always juicy and tender, and the marinade gives it a great flavor. I usually serve them with grilled pineapple and a dipping sauce.
