1 tbsp	paprika powder
1 clove(s)	garlic
4 tbsp	olive oil

In a shallow plate, mix the oil with cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika powder and garlic. Marinate the meat for 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Fry the meat in a grill pan and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or cold.

Note:
The Moores didn’t eat pork, but it is likely that the tapa is called moorish because the Moors brought the kebab skewers to Spain.

For more tapa recipes have a look at “Prawns with Saffron and Tomato Mojo” or “Bacon Wrapped Prunes”.
