Jorge: We love to grill out! It’s a great way to enjoy the outdoors
and enjoy some great food at the same time.

Raúl: And it sure beats jogging!

Glenn: The great thing is, once you get them on the grill, pinchos
cook fast. This leaves you with plenty of time for

enjoying the beverage of your choice and some good conversation as you
dig into your delicious pinchos with everyone else.

Raúl: Instead of “slaving” over the grill while everyone else enjoys
the shade!

Jorge: You can put everything together for some delicious pinchos in
less than an hour’s prep time.

Raúl: And that includes drinking a beer or two.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup finely diced onion
6 cloves garlic, mashed with 2 teaspoons
salt and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 tablespoons Spanish sweet paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine
4 pounds boneless pork, cubed for kabobs

1. Make your marinade by combining all the ingredients except pork in
a non-metallic bowl.

2. Add the pork cubes and mix them around until well coated with the
marinade.

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

4. Skewer the meat loosely so there is a little breathing room between
the pork pieces.

5. Get your grill nice and hot.

6. Grill the meat, turning occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes, or
until cooked to perfection and
juices run clear.

7. Adjust seasonings as you go—meaning a little salt and black pepper
is usually in order.

NOTE: We know that many people like to make their pinchos with chunks
of onion, green or red pepper, and cherry tomatoes, or

even zucchini. The problem with this method is that vegetables tend to
cook a lot faster than meat. If you want to grill some

vegetables with your pinchos, make up some separate skewers with
veggies only.
A good rule of thumb is to toss the vegetable pinchos on the grill
about midway through cooking the meat.

Introduction

Glenn: Hey, guess what? This is our second cookbook. If you haven’t
seen our first cookbook, Three Guys from Miami Cook

Cuban, run out right now and buy a copy!

Raúl: Go ahead—we’ll wait for you.

Jorge: In fact, while you’re gone we’ll just drink a couple of cold
Cuban beers and tell a few stories . . .

Raúl: Back so soon? Great. Now you are the proud owner of two of the
best Cuban cookbooks money can buy.

Glenn: If you haven’t seen us before, you’re probably asking yourself:
Who are these Three Guys from Miami and what do they

do? What is this book all about? Just what is Cuban cooking anyway?
Why are we here? If a tree falls in a forest, and no one

is around to hear it fall . . .

Raúl: Listen, you can ask yourself questions all day, but if you
really want some answers, you’ll need to read this book!

Jorge: Yes, in a single volume we will answer all of your questions.

Glenn: Well, maybe not all of them. We’re still working on that tree
falling in the forest one.

Jorge: What you will find in this book is more than 100 great recipes
that will make every day a party at your house.

Raúl: When you love Cuban food as we do, every meal is a celebration.
It doesn’t make any difference if you have a house

packed with 50 people or sometimes just the three of us sitting on the
patio enjoying something from the grill.

Jorge: For us, the party never ends!

Glenn: The three of us learned from our mothers who are all passionate
about their cooking with no fear of calories.

Jorge: So take our advice: Party tonight and diet tomorrow . . .

Raúl: Or better yet, party tonight AND tomorrow and diet next week!
