Suya Recipe

Suya is a popular West African street food that consists of spicy, skewered and grilled meat. Here's a detailed recipe for suya that takes into account calorie intake, allergy concerns, spicy level, healthy alternatives, kitchen equipment, and ingredients that can be purchased on Amazon. Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. of boneless chicken breast or sirloin steak

• 1/2 cup of peanut oil

• 2 tbsp. of ground cayenne pepper

• 2 tbsp. of paprika

• 1 tbsp. of garlic powder

• 1 tbsp. of onion powder

• 1 tbsp. of ground ginger

• 1 tbsp. of ground coriander

• 1 tbsp. of salt

• Skewers

• Chopped onions and tomatoes for garnish

Calories: The calorie count for suya will depend on the type of meat you use. For chicken breast, the calorie count will be approximately 165 calories per 100g, while for sirloin steak, it will be approximately 300 calories per 100g.

Allergy concerns: If you have a peanut allergy, you can substitute the peanut oil with vegetable oil or coconut oil. Also, make sure the skewers you purchase are not made from any allergenic materials.

Spicy level: The recipe calls for ground cayenne pepper, which is quite spicy. If you want a milder suya, you can reduce the amount of cayenne pepper used. Healthy alternatives: Instead of using chicken breast or sirloin steak, you can use lean cuts of beef, lamb, or even tofu. You can also use a lower calorie oil such as coconut oil or avocado oil.
