• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp lime juice or apple cider vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• Sea salt and black pepper
• Fresh cilantro or parsley

Directions

1. Trim silver skin and connective tissue, then cut the heart into skewer-size pieces.
2. Marinate with oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper for 1 to 4 hours.
3. Thread onto skewers and preheat the grill to medium-high.
4. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side.
5. Rest briefly and finish with fresh herbs.
