About this dish

Suya, also known as Tsire, is a traditional Hausa (Nigerian) smoke-grilled spiced meat on skewer. Suya is generally made with thin-sliced spiced beef, lamb, goat, ram, or chicken arranged on wooden skewers. Organ meats such as kidney, liver and tripe as well as other types of meats and seafood (shrimp) are also sometimes used. Suya is most popular as evening street food or snack, restaurant appetizer, and as accompaniment with drinks at bars and night spots.
