Ever tried roasting Suya with Peanut Butter?

Originally created as a complement to Jollof rice, this West African-style skewer, known as suya, has become a beloved marinade for beef. Surprisingly, the secret ingredient in this recipe is peanut butter, which adds a unique and delightful flavor to the dish.

here are some key insights from the chef:

The Power of Peanut Butter: Peanut butter plays a crucial role in this recipe, despite not being a typical ingredient in meat marinades. However, it works wonders and brings out the best flavors in suya.

Achieving Perfect Caramelization: Initially skeptical about the peanut butter burning on the grill, I was pleasantly surprised by how it instead caramelizes and browns beautifully. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds an exceptional taste and texture to the dish.

A Flavor That Delights Everyone: The flavor of suya is both unconventional and comforting, reminiscent of beloved dishes from cherished places. It's a crowd-pleaser that will leave you wanting to grill it again and again.

While the authentic method of using ground nuts instead of peanut butter is worth exploring, this version using peanut butter has won the chef's heart.

So what do you think, if they tell you to make Suya with peanut butter will you give it a try?
