Almond Suya Spice

I love suya, the flavours of meat grilling at night, the juicy fatty bits drizzling down the grill making you salivate even more,
and the extra yaji spice, when you buy the meat wrapped in old newspapers.

Suya originated from the northern part of  Nigeria, suya is thinly sliced beef in wooden skewers rubbed with yaji spice and then grilled with groudnutoil.
Yaji spice can be rubbed on meat, fish and poultry.

Suya spice is called yaji, very spicy and filled with flavour.

.

Peanuts are higher in carbs than almond so i  decided to make  yaji using roasted almond nuts
instead and pork rinds for extra crunch you can omit that if you prefer.
