Pinchos, or pinchos de carne, are a beloved street food in Puerto Rico, inspired by the Spanish tradition of skewered meats but infused with vibrant Caribbean flavors. These kabobs typically feature marinated pork (pinchos de cerdo) or chicken (pinchos de pollo), cubed and grilled to perfection over an open flame or grill. The marinade often includes Adobo and Sazón seasonings, staples of Puerto Rican cuisine, which lend a savory, aromatic depth. Served with a side of bread, sauce, or simply on their own, pinchos are a quick, flavorful bite enjoyed at roadside stands, festivals, and family gatherings.

I recently got my hands on wild boar and seeing that cider and sage are commonly used with pork, I decided to improvise and use an apple and beer with a browned sage sauce instead to contribute to the rustic flavours and image of the wild boar.

I recently got my hands on some well-priced pork tenderloin and decided to go with some Caribbean cuisine. One thing about Caribbean cooking I love, is the abundant flavours and spiciness associated with the dishes. Apparently this dish was created by runaway slaves as a means of preserving meats without proper refrigeration.
