Allergens

Contains no common allergens unless specified.

Ingredients

• 1 pound beef or chicken, cut into bite
• sized pieces 2 tablespoons ground peanuts 2 teaspoons curry powder 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves Fresh parsley, for garnish Peanut Sauce: 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon sugar Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the ground peanuts, curry powder, ginger, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well to create the suya spice blend.
2. Coat the bite sized meat pieces with the suya spice mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly covered. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat your oven's broiler or grill and cook the meat pieces until they are cooked through and have a nice char on the outside. Be sure to flip them occasionally for even cooking.
4. For the peanut sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, water, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. If the sauce is too thick, add more water until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Plate the suya bites, garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve them alongside the peanut sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
