These tasty smoky paprika pork kebabs make a delicious tapas-style meal as part of a selection of dishes or served on their own as a starter. Bigger versions make a lovely low-fat main dish served with salad and rice or new potatoes. Smoked paprika is a popular spice in Spain and is now widely available here in most supermarkets and delicatessens. Usually smoked over oak, it can be sweet or hot so check the label and adjust the quantity you use accordingly. Use it in marinades and sauces to give hint of smokiness or add to soups and stews for a more robust flavour.
