  • Mix all the remaining ingredients into a measuring cup and pour all over the meat.
  • Refrigerate for 6-12 hours.

For the Glaze
  • Add everything to a small pot and bring to a low simmer for about 30 minutes to reduce and thicken.

  • Add the pre-cooked jasmine rice and continue to stir fry another 2 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and add the furikake seasoning, soy sauce and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve with meat skewers.

To Finish
  • Preheat the grill to 400ºF.
  • Cut the bell peppers, onions, and oranges into 2 inch pieces.
  • Skewer the meat, alternating between the cut peppers, onion and orange pieces.

Notes
  • The glaze can be made 2-3 days ahead, refrigerated and brought to room temperature before grilling.
  • The jasmine rice can be steamed or simmered the day ahead, and stir fried just before serving.

Did You Even Wonder How Bad Can Hunger Be?

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ...."  Matthew 25:35   

Did You Ever Wonder How Bad Can Hunger Be?

The statistics show only the numbers. They don't show the people - children, men and women - who are not getting enough to eat. They don't show the child who goes to bed hungry and then goes to school the next morning on a still empty stomach. They don't show the elderly person, who after a lifetime of hard work, has to choose between eating and medical care. They don't show the struggle of the mother and father who are working hard trying to feed their family, but still don't have a sufficient amount of money to provide enough food, so they skip meals so their children can eat or "water down" food. Until a person has experienced hunger firsthand it's hard to understand what it's like to be truly hungry.
​
​​When you see the statistics do you think hunger could only happen to someone else or that  hunger only happens to the homeless and those living in poverty?  Any one of us could be one job loss, medical or financial crisis away from being one of the hunger statistics!  

 
FHFH is committed to helping the people in our country who are hungry!  We are a team of compassionate volunteers, businesses, churches, clubs, foundations and individuals like you who have a heart for those who are struggling with hunger.

Venison Heart Anticuchos

Venison Heart Anticuchos
by Bobbie Jo Wasilko
He Hunts She Cooks

Prep Time:  3 hr 15 min
Cook Time:  4 min
Total Time: 3 hr 19 min
Serves 2

Walk around most any street in Peru, or attend a sports event and Beef Heart Anticuchos will be the snack you’ll most likely encounter. The slightly spicy, tangy meats on a stick are a favorite of Peruvians.  They are so easy to make, and utilize a part of the animal most wouldn’t consider.  With a quick marinade in ahi panca sauce, these tasty bites only need a skewer and a few minutes on a blazing hot grill. I’ve created mine using venison heart.  This snack is quick to make and so yummy, you can make this your first meal while still out in the field.

For the Venison Antichos
  • 1 Venison Heart 
  • 4 Skewers

For the Marinade
  • 1/2 cup Aji Panca Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Canola Oil
  • 1 Tbs. Ground Cumin
  • 2 tbs. Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, minced (substitute 1 tbs. garlic powder)

For the Venison Anticuchos
  • Soak wooden skewers in warm water, and set aside.
  • Remove any fat and silver skin from the venison heart.
  • Split the venison down the middle and remove the ventricles.
  • Once the venison is trimmed, slice into 3 inch pieces.

For the Marinade
  • Mince the garlic.
  • Add all the ingredients into a glass dish, or a heavy duty zip lock bag.
  • Add the venison heart pieces.
  • Place in the fridge or cooler for 2-3 hours.

To Finish
  • Heat the grill to about 400 degrees.
  • Skewer the sliced meat.
  • Sear for 2 minutes, then baste with marinade.
  • Flip meat over and grill 2 more minutes, and baste once more, *be careful not to overcook the heart, 4 minutes total is all that is needed.
  • Boil remaining marinade for 5 minutes, and serve with venison anticuchos.

Notes
  • Jars of Aji Panca sauce are available online or in most Hispanic grocery stores.  If it isn’t available, a paste can be made by using 2 dried aji (“a-hee”) peppers and a bit of oil.  I found this jar at my local Hispanic grocery store.  
  • Side dishes can be grilled corn on-the-cob and boiled new potatoes.
