I've already posted quite a bit about Suya here. Today I'm sharing another variation of Kankan/Suyamix with you.
As you know, the main ingredient in kankan is roasted peanuts. If, like me, you've developed a peanut allergy over the course of your life (a real nuisance for a West African!), you don't have to miss out on suya. Here's an alternative to the original kankan that tastes (almost) just as delicious.
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp roasted cashew nuts
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (or more for those who like it spicy)
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp salt
Preparation:
- Place all ingredients in a mortar or a dry mixer/coffee grinder and grind into a powder.
The spice mix is not only wonderful as a marinade for meat, but also for spicing up sauces and other dishes.
Bon appetite!
My tip for you:
You can make a larger quantity of the spice mix, freeze it in small portions, and always have it on hand.
