Suya

Udder of cow; thinly sliced and then cultured with vinegar, oil, salt, and ground-pepper-and-groundnuts. Charcoal-grilled in the open air from about dusk beside the road. Served sizzling in cutlets wrapped up in paper.

  1. hmmm...your culinary description makes my mouth water. But the vinegar bit, is it done? or it is the ideal?

  3. NFA, call it over-elaboration. Pretend I did not write vinegar. It's just the oil.

  4. Yes, Raine, in a way you are right. The seasoning is really the Suya. But it has kind of been extended to cover the meat (I have described) too.

  5. My attraction to food - both virtual and real - simply pulled me back to your blog Nana. Am enjoying your literary bites.

  8. Abena, teach me how to do it. It sounds all romantic (as in idealistic and fanciful) to me, and I would like to do that too. Please don't say soya!

  12. Oh my! gustatory bliss...I either tasted this a really long time ago, or tasted it in my dreams: either way, it was amazing! And now your words are making me taste it again...the sweet-searing seasoning and the succulent meat!!!
