    1 -2 tablespoon aji panca chili paste
    1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil
    salt
Preparation
    Aji panca:
    Stem and devein the ajies (keep some veins for a very spicy paste).
    Toast in dry skillet over high heat for a few minutes, then blanche.
    Blanche 1, 2, or 3 times (in a change of water each time) for more or less spiciness. Spiciness reduces with each blanching.

    Push the mixture through a fine sieve.
    Discard any remaining skin and veins.
    Yield: 1 cup.
    Marinade:
    Mix all ingredients.
    Assembly:
    Remove all skin and sinews from the heart.
    Cut meat into large bits-sized pieces.
    Place 3-4 pieces onto bamboo skewers, and marinade overnight.
    When ready to prepare, remove from marinade and sprinkle with salt.
    Barbecue for about 3 minutes per side over very high heat. Baste with extra oil and remaining marinade as necessary.
    Serve immediately.
