Little brief of history
This dish already existed in Inca times, at that time, anticuchos were made with llama meat. This was cut and seasoned with herbs and chili, it was the delight of the Inca.
Upon the arrival of the Spanish, llama meat was replaced by beef, thus modifying the recipe.
“the disdain towards the viscera and the less noble parts of the cattle, on the part of the Spaniards, originated that in Lima these trifles were relegated to become the diet of the black slaves”.
According to Cecilia Portella said
The beef heart was cut into pieces and macerated with chicha and vinegar. Finally, the cane sticks where the meats were skewered were introduced, thus leaving the presentation that we know until today.
Apparently, the word Anticucho has a Quechua origin. "Anti, ahead; and cuchu, cut, "says Aída Tam Fox in her book" Limeña Kitchen Vocabulary.
