Anticuchos are skewers of beef heart marinated in aji panca, garlic, cumin and red wine vinegar, grilled over coals and served with corn and boiled potato.
Anticuchos descend from the African enslaved communities of colonial Lima (1530s-1850s), who received the rejected beef-heart cuts and turned them into the city's signature street grill. Doña Grimanesa Vargas opened her Miraflores anticucho cart in 1974; the dish carries Lima's evening grill culture.
