Recipe By Mike Johnston, Savory Spice founder

"Pinchitos" are Spanish for "kebabs" and are often served tapas-style in Spain. Our Southern Spain Pinchito Spice adds a Spanish-influenced curry flavor to whatever your using it in. It works here both as a marinade for the meat and as a dipping sauce for the grilled kebabs.

Serving Suggestions

As a meal, serve over a bed of rice and drizzle with sauce. As an appetizer, serve on smaller skewers with sauce on the side for dipping.

Recipe Notes

For a vegetarian option: Use 14 oz. extra firm tofu or 1 lb. eggplant in place of meat. For eggplant, sprinkle cubes generously with salt and let sit in a colander for 30 min. to remove excess moisture before marinating.

For a vegan option: Make the vegetarian substitutions and use a non-dairy yogurt for the sauce.

Ingredients

For sauce:


1/2 cup plain yogurt

3 tsp. lime juice


For pinchitos:


1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 lb. beef, pork, lamb, or chicken, cubed

Choose 2 of these veggies:

8 oz. white mushrooms

2 bell peppers (variety of colors), cubed

2 small zucchini or squash, thick slices

1 red onion, cut in wedges

Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 min.
