Before grilling, skewer the pork to make kebabs, putting about 4 to 5 pieces of meat on each skewer. Don't jam the meat super close together, it's ok if the meat is touching, but do it loosely so the heat can reach all the sides and cook evenly.

Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Grenache, Albarino

Tempranillo, Grenache, and Albarino are my top picks for Spanish. When pairing wine with Spanish dishes, why not follow the rule 'what grows together goes together'? We recommend albariño for white wine and garnachan and tempranillo for red. The Enate Tempranillo with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Nuances of strawberry sweets and liquorish mingle playfully with red berries and cherries. The fusion of flavorsome tannins and fresh acidity brings about a smooth and well-rounded texture, which in turn leads to a creamy finish on the palate.Due to the wine's youthful character, it is best to serve it lightly chilled. It is the perfect accompaniment to Spanish tapas such as cod croquettes, black pudding and black rice without forgetting cold fish dishes and pasta.
