Anticuchos have a history that stretches back to pre-Columbian times in the Andes. Initially made with llama meat and seasoned with herbs and spices, the dish evolved after the arrival of the Spanish. The Spanish conquistadors, who often discarded organ meats, unintentionally made beef heart available to the indigenous population, who adapted their traditional recipes. African slaves in Peru also contributed to the dish's development, refining the marinade with their own culinary influences.

Anticuchos are characterized by a savory, slightly spicy, and smoky flavor profile.
The marinade, typically featuring aji panca (Peruvian red pepper), garlic, cumin, vinegar, and other spices, infuses the beef heart with a deep umami taste. The grilling process imparts a smoky char that complements the richness of the meat. The texture is tender and slightly chewy, offering a satisfying bite.

Marinating Time
Marinate the beef heart for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
Skewering Technique
Cut the beef heart into uniform pieces and thread them onto skewers without overcrowding, ensuring even cooking.
Grilling Temperature
Grill the anticuchos over medium-high heat, turning frequently, to achieve a slightly charred exterior and a tender interior. Avoid overcooking, which can make the beef heart tough.
Aji Panca Paste
Using a good quality Aji Panca paste is key to achieving the authentic flavor. It is worth sourcing this ingredient for the best results.
