How to cook deliciously - Simple Puerto Rican Pinchos

1. Stage

In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients.

2. Stage

Add the pork and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate, at least 6 hours or overnight.

3. Stage

Shake off excess marinade and thread the meat onto skewers, leaving a 2-inch space at the end of each skewer.

4. Stage

Heat the grill to about 450º. Quickly grill the bread slices about 1 minute each side and set aside.

5. Stage

Cook the skewers, rotating every 3 minutes until just done, about 10-12 minutes.

6. Stage

Carefully baste the meat with barbecue sauce, and cook for 1 minute, then flip and baste with more sauce. Finish cooking for an additional minute (alternately, cook until pork registers 145º degrees on an instant read thermometer).

7. Stage

Baste with more barbecue sauce, and garnish with cilantro before serving with a slice of toasted bread. (Elie likes to thread hers right onto the end of the skewer.)
