Morunos Pintxos of Tuna with Moorish Spices Recipe
The pintxos morunos is a Moorish dish of Spanish cuisine, like kebabs. It represents the slices of meat cooked on the coals. There is nothing complicated about it, and the trick lies in the spices. In Africa (where the Moors came from), it is prepared mainly from mutton. In Spain - most often from pork or chicken. I suggest you try the tuna version. But you can take the marinade from this recipe as a basis and use any other meat.

  1. From the pintxos morunos there is no hard list of spices. I will say one thing - this list should be large, in the best Arab traditions. So you can try adding, removing, or changing things.
