Suya is a smoky, nutty, and spicy West African spice rub made with ground roasted dried peanuts, ginger, and chiles. We help cut the fat but keep the flavor by using peanut butter powder instead of whole peanuts. It especially makes a great rub and dip for grilled meat, but it really goes well with just about anything. Try sprinkling it over your next platter of grilled vegetables, or season fish fillets with it before grilling. If you have any ground African long pepper, add 1/2 tsp to the mix.

Powdered peanut butter

½ cup(s)

Ground ginger
