Anticuchos skewers served with grilled vegetables

Anticuchos

Anticuchos are one of the oldest and best-known dishes in Peruvian cuisine, dating back to the Spanish conquest. Originally made with beef heart, they are now prepared with a variety of meats. Thanks to the Aji Panca paste, the dish has a unique, spicy flavor that is perfected by grilling over charcoal. Anticuchos are a favorite of street vendors and are often served with boiled potatoes or corn.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the Aji Panca paste, crushed garlic, vinegar, oil, cumin, Hungarian sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the lime juice until well combined.

    2

    Add the cubed beef to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.

    3

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning on the grill.

    4

    Thread the marinated beef onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

    5

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, until the meat is cooked through and nicely browned.

    6

    Serve the Anticuchos skewers hot, with lime wedges and boiled potatoes or corn on the side.
