Chicken Suya with Jollof Rice ~ Hibiscus Puff Puffs

A taste of the extraordinarily delicious food of Nigeria

More info

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!
