I made this recipe exactly as written with the exception of the paprika. I could not find hot paprika, so I substituted half regular and half smoked paprika. The best part about the meal was the pepper sauce; it was very tasty. I think 1/2" pieces is too small for an entree. I do not think the effort put into preparing this meal warranted the outcome. I thought it was just mediocre and will not be making it again.
Anticuchos (Peruvian Beef Kebabs)
Randy Mayor; Melanie J. Clarke
These spicy beef kebabs are enjoyed day and night in Peruvian restaurants and at the pushcarts of street vendors. If you live in an area with a large Peruvian community, you may be able to buy whole or ground aji amarillo. If not, use hot paprika in its place, as we did in testing the recipe. We also tried Spanish smoked paprika, which you can find at www.tienda.com.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3 ounces meat and about 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce)
