@Connie: yes, an hour or so of marinating will be sufficient, but you don’t need to worry too much about getting all the marinade off, just make sure there isn’t a lot of garlic remaining as it will burn when you cook the kebabs.

Forgive me for being naive, but are the ingredients marinated together before cooking? I see, “brush most of the garlic off” and thought I was missing something. I’ve just recently discovered pork belly and this looks delish!

@Rachel: apparently, there are a ton of black virgins out there, not just the two Guadalupes, and the probably each have their own stories and are venerated for different things.

@2Bannie – well-spotted. It should read “…in the province of Caceres.” Now corrected. Guadalupe sounds a bit like Lourdes in SW France. The whole town is in the business of trinkets and, due to the spring that Lourdes discovered, canisters of all shapes and sizes for taking home some of the healing waters.

The shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe is in Guadalupe, not Caceres. The whole town of Guadalupe is basically organized around tourism to the shrine (the town is not large), and selling of trinkets about the virgin or copper mining (a former industry) seems to be how many of the townspeople make their living.

I’ve never thought of pork belly this way… what a smashing idea to have it crisped on little skewers. I need to try this for myself.

I think I hear my heart sing. Marinated pork belly kabobs with garlic, cumin, and pimenton? Count me in. My grill pan always creates a smoke bomb in my apartment, but this would be so worth it.

Interesting story about the black Madonna. My grandmother one day said she remembered how her own mother had a black Madonna in the house and she wanted one for herself. My uncle found her two of them. I wonder if Grandma would have believed the truth if she read this…
