About this dish

Five meats, picanha, pork belly, chicken thigh, chicken hearts, and linguiça sausage, go onto separate steel skewers seasoned with nothing but coarse salt.

Each kind gets its own skewer because thickness and cooking speed differ, which lets whatever finishes first come off the grill on its own. Picanha is sliced thick against the grain and folded into a U before skewering. Shake off loose salt just before grilling so the crust does not turn too salty.
