Peel the garlic, roughly chop it, and grind it into a paste in a mortar with cayenne pepper, cumin, and paprika. Mix it in a bowl with 4 tablespoons of oil and the sherry. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, coat in the marinade, and marinate, covered, for 2 hours in the refrigerator. Thread the meat onto small skewers and fry in a pan over medium heat in the remaining oil for 8-10 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Tip: The meat skewers can be served as a tapa or as a main course with bread and salad.
