Skewered beef coated in a fragrant peanut spice mix and grilled over charcoal — Nigeria's classic street snack.
🚧 The Storage app is currently in development. Please check back soon.
Believed to originate with the Hausa people of northern Nigeria, suya's defining feature is 'yaji,' a spice blend made from ground roasted peanuts. It's now beloved nationwide, and suya stands sending up smoke in the evening draw crowds of regulars.
Grind the peanuts finely in a food processor (not into a paste).
Mix the ground peanuts with chili powder, paprika powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to make the yaji spice blend.
Thread the beef onto skewers and brush lightly with oil.
Coat the skewers evenly with the yaji.
Grill over charcoal (or under a fish grill), turning occasionally.
Dust with a little more yaji once cooked, then serve.
