Nigerian suya are a popular barbecued kebab featuring meat marinated in a dry rub of toasted peanuts and spices. Each street vendor will have their own special blend with a unique flavour, fragrance and texture - ours includes fruity habanero chilli, cayenne and a numbing hot pepper, as well as garlic, paprika and black pepper. It’s served with jollof rice, a dish found throughout West Africa and thought to be the origin of the Cajun dish jambalaya. For dessert we’ve got Nigeria’s answer to the doughnut known colloquially as puff puffs. We’ve flavoured these with a mixture of sweet spices - cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice - as well as that all-important hisbiscus, and they’re drizzled with a fruity hibiscus syrup to serve. Perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Really loved this and lots of different flavours. Definitely recommend. Unfortunately didn’t do puffs as I have lost the recipe.

Really tasty. I'm so used to a "wet satay" sauce it was a good change to have the dry crumb version.

A reasonably simple straightforward recipe to follow, with very tasty results. Just the right amount of spiciness in the chicken, which stayed nice and moist. Even the spinach was good, and I'm not a fan. Will definitely be buying this one again.

So delicious! The chicken had a really nice texture and flavour. My kids (8 And 10) loved it too. They are far more adventurous than I was at their age!

Interesting flavours and easy to make. The spinach adds an unnecessary bitterness and we felt the meal didn’t hang together as well as other recipes.

The pepper sauce is HOT. The peanut mixture is HOT but with the spinach and rice it was ACE. A good deal of work but really worthwhile and enough for the 2 of us for another 2 days. Just so tasty.

Very tasty and lovely without being overpowering, a little faffy to prepare all the elements but worth the effort.

DE-licious! A great selection of side dishes and will definitely be making the chicken skewers again.
