Method

  1. Mix 3 tbsp olive oil, the garlic, spices and vinegar in a bowl. Add the pork and toss together. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  2. Mix the egg yolks, mustard and piquillo paste in a bowl. Add a splash of warm water, then slowly whisk in 100ml olive oil and the vegetable oil. Season, then add vinegar and as much lemon juice as it needs. Keep cool.
  3. Thread the pork onto soaked bamboo skewers. Heat a chargrill or barbecue to high. Grill the pinchos on all sides, until just cooked through. Rest for 2 minutes, then add a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve the piquillo alioli on the side for dipping (any extra will keep in the fridge for 2 days).

    Used this recipe for a tapas meal for family, marinated the skewers overnight and made the alioli the day before too - really tasty pork and not dry at all. Will definitely use this recipe again.
