Andalusian Pork Kebabs w/ Ridiculous Cornbread

Botch

Pinchos Morunos is a simple Spanish marinade for cubes of pork loin (salted overnight and marinated for 2 hours); yesterday one of the cooking shows did an over-the-top grilled cornbread that I wanted to try too.   
Cornbread started with grilled jalapeños and corn, fresh corn wasn't yet available so I grilled canned.
 

 
Recipe called for sour cream and milk and melted butter and oil and two eggs and 2 cups of cheddar, kinda rich.  Corn and peppers stirred in, CI heated (I toasted the cornmeal in it first), buttered, and mix poured in.
 

 
Checked it at 20 minutes, not quite there, 10 more and it looked good, crust was just about right.
 

 
Kebab marinade had garlic, saffron (I was out, omitted), oregano, salt, sweet and hot smoked paprikas, cumin, tumeric, cinnamon, black pepper, lemon juice and olive oil.  About 5 minutes per side:
 

 
Enough pork for 3 meals, enough cornbread for six.
 

 
Marinade is a keeper; the cornbread was good but not really "cornbread", just too much going on and it was heavy.  TFL!
 

1 pork tenderloin 1 1/4 lbs, cut into 1.5" cubes

4 cloves garlic

1/4 tsp saffron threads 

1 tsp dried oregano 

1 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 

1/4 tsp hot smoked Spanish paprika 

1/2 tsp ground cumin 

1/2 tsp ground turmeric 

1/4 tsp cinnamon powder 

1 tbsp lemon juice 

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 

sea salt & black pepper

fresh parsley and lemon for garnish

6 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 20 minutes)

Awesome! You had me at cornbread

That all looks great.  Would've been over the top if you had gotten crosshatch grill marks on the corn.

That looks phenomenal. I need to do a cornbread with some chilies. I bet that pork would be amazing with a tortilla and a little salsa.

My cousin makes a Mexican cornbread. She starts by putting a layer of bacon in a cast iron skillet. The batter has corn , jalapeños, and cheese added.
