🌭 250g Artisanal longaniza, cut into pieces

🌶️ 1 Green bell pepper, cubed
🌶️ 1 Red bell pepper, cubed

🍷 1 cup White wine

🧄 4 cloves Garlic, minced
🌶️ 1 tablespoon Ají de color
🌿 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
🌿 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
🧂 1 tablespoon Lobos fine salt
🥖 4 Marraqueta breads, cut into pieces

Instructions

1- Prepare the Meats and Vegetables:

• Cube the chicken, pork, and beef, ensuring uniformity in size for even cooking. Remove excess fat from pork and beef.
• Dice the longaniza sausage into similarly sized pieces.
• Cube the bell peppers and segment the onions uniformly.

2- Make the Basting Sauce (Aderezo):

• In a bowl, mix equal parts white wine and vinegar.
• Add minced garlic, ají de color, ground cumin, oregano, and Lobos fine salt.
• Stir well and bind a bundle of fresh herbs to create a natural basting brush.

3- Assemble the Anticuchos:

• Thread meats and vegetables alternately on metal skewers. Start with longaniza for a flavorful base.
• Leave space at both ends of the skewer to handle them without burning.

4- Prepare the Grills:

• Preheat the Bosca charcoal grill by evenly spreading hot coals. Alternatively, preheat the Bosca gas grill to medium-high heat.

5- Grill the Anticuchos:

• Place skewers on the grill, cooking for about 5 minutes per side.
• Turn skewers as needed and sprinkle with more Lobos salt.
• Baste the skewers liberally with the prepared aderezo using the herb brush, ensuring even coating.

6- Toast the Marraqueta:

• As your skewers near completion, place the marraqueta pieces on the grill to toast them until they are golden brown and crispy.

7- Serve:

• Once cooked, remove the anticuchos from the grill and serve with toasted marraqueta pieces. Pair with red wine for a delightful experience.
