About Anticuchos
Anticuchos are a traditional Peruvian dish consisting of marinated and skewered pieces of meat, typically beef heart, though other proteins can be used. These skewers are seasoned with a blend of garlic, cumin, smoky paprika, and vinegar, then grilled to perfection, giving the dish a rich, savory flavor. Originating in the Andes and influenced by Spanish culinary traditions, Anticuchos are widely enjoyed as street food and at festive gatherings. From a nutritional perspective, beef heart is a lean protein source rich in iron, zinc, and B vitamins, beneficial for energy and overall health. However, Anticuchos can be high in cholesterol depending on the cut of meat used, so moderation is recommended. Pairing them with a side of grilled vegetables or a vibrant aji-based sauce adds nutrients and balance to the dish, making it a flavorful and culturally significant option in a healthy diet.
