Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Prepare the shashlik: In a large bowl, combine cumin, paprika, pepper flakes, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in olive oil to form a loose paste. Add the pork and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate at room temperature for 2 hours or overnight in a cool place.
  2. Prepare romesco sauce: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until golden brown. Then add the tomato and chili peppers. Season with salt and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

  3. Preheat the grill to medium. Toast the bread on both sides. Cool, then cut into cubes.
  4. Grind the almonds and bread in a food processor. Add the roasted vegetables, saffron, vinegar, and parsley. Puree until smooth. Add salt to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil or water.
  5. Thread the pork onto skewers, 4-5 pieces on each, leaving a small distance between them (so that the meat cooks evenly).
  6. Clean the grill grate with a wire brush, then wipe with an oiled paper towel. Grill the kebabs, rotating them on all sides, until golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the kebabs to a serving platter and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with romesco sauce.
