Nigerian Suya Loaded Wrap

Nigeria's most famous street food — suya (smoky, peanut-spiced beef skewers) taken off the stick and wrapped in a flatbread with sliced tomato, raw onion rings, fresh kuli-kuli (peanut cake) crumbles and more yaji (the suya spice powder). The yaji spice blend of groundnuts, ginger, garlic and African spices is the soul of the dish.

Method

  1. Mix yaji spice blend: combine ground peanuts, Cameroon pepper, garlic, ginger, paprika, Maggi and salt.

    About 5 min

  2. Coat thin beef slices in oil, then press yaji spice onto all sides. Thread onto skewers or leave as strips. Marinate 30 minutes.

    About 14 min

  3. Grill over very high heat (charcoal or griddle) 2–3 minutes per side. The peanuts should form a crust and the edges should char slightly.

    About 14 min

  4. Warm flatbreads. Layer with sliced tomato, onion rings and shredded cabbage.

    About 14 min

  5. Add the suya beef. Sprinkle extra yaji powder generously over the meat. Roll tightly. The raw onion and tomato provide freshness against the smoky, spiced beef.
