Best Pinchitos in Sydney
“Small cubes of meat on a skewer, cooked over charcoal—Moorish roots, Spanish approach.”
What the real thing tastes like
Pinchitos or pinchos morunos is a Moorish-derived food in Spanish cuisine, similar to kebab. The name pinchitos is used in the southern Spanish autonomous communities of Andalusia and Extremadura. They consist of small cubes of meat threaded onto a skewer (Spanish: pincho) which are traditionally cooked over charcoal braziers. Similar dishes in North Africa or other Muslim majority countries tend to be lamb based, but pork and chicken are the most popular meats for the dish in Spain.

Pinchitos are small cubes of meat strung onto skewers and cooked over charcoal—a Spanish interpretation of Moorish kebab tradition that took root in Andalusia and Extremadura. While their North African cousins favor lamb, Spanish versions lean into pork and chicken, each cube catching char and smoke over the brazier. The result is meat that's personal and handheld, built on a single wooden stick.
