Method

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Boil the potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in their skins in water until tender. Peel them once cooked and cut them in half.

  3. 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.

    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.
