Drawing on Armenian grilling traditions, this recipe marinates beef heart with spices before threading it onto skewers and cooking it over hot coals. The raw, marinated meat can be frozen, making it a convenient option to prepare ahead for a late-night snack.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Marinate

180 min

Toss the cubed heart with the olive oil, lemon juice, ground red pepper, cumin, crushed garlic and salt. Refrigerate for 3 hours.

2

Thread onto skewers

10 min

Thread the marinated heart cubes tightly onto metal skewers.

3

Grill over hot coals

12 min

Cook the skewers on a hot grill for 12 minutes, turning until browned all over.

4

Rest and serve

3 min

Remove from the heat and let the skewers rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Reminder

Remove the inner membranes from the heart before cooking. Any left behind will toughen as they cook and become difficult to chew.

Izgarada 12 dakika yazıyordu ama benim mangalım daha zayıf ateş tuttuğu için 16 dakikaya çıkardım, yine de içi kurumadı. Ateşinize göre birkaç dakika esneklik payı bırakmanızı öneririm.

Tahta şiş yerine metal şiş kullanıp tam 12 dakika ızgarada çevirince hiçbiri kırılmadan közlendi, misafirlerim çok beğendi.

3 saatlik marine gerçekten fark yaratmış, et beklediğimden çok daha yumuşak ve baharatlı çıktı.
