Chicken heart skewers are a quick Portuguese petisco: the hearts are marinated with garlic and lemon, then cooked over charcoal for a few minutes. Their short cooking time makes them convenient for serving quickly at a party.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Marinate

10 min

Mix the cleaned chicken hearts with crushed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, thyme, and salt. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.

2

Thread onto Skewers

5 min

Thread the marinated hearts onto skewers, leaving space between them.

3

Grill over Charcoal

5 min

Grill the skewers over hot charcoal for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning them, until browned outside and still firm inside.

Reminder

Leave a little space between the hearts on the skewers; if packed too tightly, the outside may burn before the pieces in the middle cook through.

Tavuk yüreği bulamadığım için yerine tavuk ciğeri kullandım, pişme süresini bir dakika kısalttım ama doku beklediğimden daha yumuşak kaldı, biraz da dağılmaya meyilliydi, yine de tadı fena değildi.

Ciğer gerçekten yürekten daha yumuşak bir doku verir, bir dahaki sefere bir dakika değil neredeyse yarısı kadar kısaltmanızı öneririm.
