Nigerian Suya is a popular street food in Nigeria that originated in the northern part of the country. It is made by marinating beef skewers in a blend of spices, including ground roasted peanuts, ginger, garlic, and paprika. The skewers are then grilled over an open flame to give them a smoky flavor and a charred exterior. Suya is often sold by street vendors who set up makeshift grills and sell the skewers to passersby. It is typically served with sliced onions and a spicy pepper sauce for dipping.

Instructions

1.Preheat your grill to high heat.
2.In a small bowl, combine the ground roasted peanuts, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, ginger, garlic powder, and onion powder to make the spice mix.
3.Thread the beef, red bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms onto skewers.
4.Sprinkle the spice mix over the skewers and pat to adhere.
5.Grill the skewers, turning occasionally until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
