Description

Suya Spice (Yaji) is the seasoning behind Nigeria’s beloved street-food skewers. It’s a blend of roasted, ground peanuts, ginger, cayenne pepper, and other spices that creates a smoky, nutty, and spicy crust on grilled meat.

Traditionally used to coat beef, chicken, or fish before grilling, Suya Spice can also season roasted vegetables, popcorn, or grilled corn for a smoky kick.

Rub generously onto meat with a little oil before grilling or pan-searing for the most authentic flavor.

Recipe tip: Marinate meat with the spice and a touch of oil for at least 30 minutes before grilling for maximum flavor absorption.
