Ingredients

10 to 12 ounces heart

for the marinade:

1/3 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cumin or coriander, optional

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced, optional

to garnish:

segments of lime, for squeezing

Directions

To prepare heart, remove the gristle and sinews in the cavity by slicing them away. Cut the heart into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes of heart into a medium sized mixing bowl. Add all the ingredients for the marinade and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or up to a day. Skewer the meat, about 4 to 5 cubes per skewer. Grill over high heat until slightly charred on the surface and rare to medium-rare inside, about 3 minutes. Turn the the skewers over mid-way. Serve immediately, with lime to squeeze over the heart.
