Bolivian Anticuchos with Beef Heart, Potatoes, and Peanut Sauce
Bolivian skewers of beef heart and potatoes served with a thick yellow-chile and peanut sauce. Makes 6 servings; marinate the meat for 2 hours.
This version brings together thinly sliced beef heart, potatoes, and a peanut sauce with yellow chile—ingredients and techniques documented in Bolivian recipes. The meat rests in a vinegar-and-water marinade for 2 hours; cook the sauce until thick and grill the skewers without letting them burn.
Method
- 01
Marinate the heart
Mix the vinegar, 1/2 cup of the water for the marinade and sauce, and the salt. Add the heart cut into thin slices and leave it to rest for 2 hours.
- 02
Boil the potatoes
Boil the potatoes in their skins in water until tender. Peel them once cooked and cut them in half.
- 03
Make the peanut sauce
Grind the peanuts with some of the water for the marinade and sauce. In a pot, combine the ground peanuts with the yellow chile, food coloring, cumin, garlic, and the remaining water. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
20 min - 04
Assemble and grill the skewers
Thread the heart slices and potato halves onto skewers; one documented arrangement uses 5 pieces of meat and 2 potato halves per skewer. Grill over charcoal or a lively fire, turning them and watching so they do not burn. Serve with the peanut sauce.
