About Anticuchos de Corazón
Peru Delights presents anticuchos as a familiar Peruvian street food associated with anticucheras and communal celebrations. Cow’s heart is cut into pieces and marinated with aji panca, garlic, red wine vinegar and spices.
The skewered meat is grilled and basted with its marinade using a brush made from fresh corn husks. Aji panca contributes earthy, smoky chilli flavour to the strongly seasoned heart.
Boiled potatoes and large-kernel Peruvian corn accompany the skewers. A sauce of aji amarillo, scallions and salt adds heat at the table, with chicha morada among the suggested drinks.
