Anticucho is a very popular and cheap dish in
Peru. It’s highly sought after in most local restaurants and can also be found
in street carts or street food stalls. It originated in the colonial time and
since then stayed a key part of Peruvians’ everyday life. This dish is made of
beef heart marinated in vinegar and spices like cumin, chili pepper and garlic.
Then the meat is skewed and grilled. Anticuchos made of chicken heart are very
common too.
Usually in my family we have them when
there’s any celebration, like birthdays, and we always enjoy setting up the
grill on the backyard and waiting until the smoke rises carrying the mouth-watering
smell. I specially enjoy it with boiled potato, corn and creole sauce (a mix of
sliced onions with lemon juice, cilantro and chili), which are the common sides
for this dish.
