homemade yaji spice

Fiery, nutty, smoky West African spice blend that tastes great on anything savory

Homemade Authentic Suya Spice

roasted groundnut (or peanuts)

Maggi cubes (about 3 cubes)

garlic powder

ginger

red pepper (cayenne pepper works well)

onion powder

smoked paprika

white pepper

Grind peanuts in a blender, coffee grinder or food processor for about 30 seconds, pausing and checking the texture as you go so that it does not over-blend and become a paste.

Combine ground nuts with remaining ingredients in a small bowl and mix until uniform (about two minutes).

Store unused spice in an airtight container away from heat. Refrigerated is fine.

Thank you for sharing this recipe,I tried it once and got hooked instantly, I make it every week and have it with everything

This was so simple yet so delicious!  I’ve literally been putting it on everything!!

Thank you so much Jasmine for sharing. Lovely and tasty, well done..

This was a really helpful tutorial! I especially appreciated knowing I could be flexible with my salt. I try to use low sodium products more often and it always suits me better to season as I go. Thank you for this!

I made and sprinkled this suya yaji spice on my mashed plantains and fell head over heels in love. Utter perfection, Jazz!

This spice pairs perfectly with everything. I've never had this spice prior to making this recipe and now I'm going to be making it all the time! It's so delicious!

Making suya was super easy thanks to your recipe! I used it to marinate beef skewers and they were delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!

When I saw that I had all of the ingredients on hand to make this suya spice mix I knew I had to try it! It was so simple and it tastes amazing on chicken! I used Knorr bouillon but next time I'll pick up some Maggi cubes. Looking forward to your suya recipe!!

Some of the best food I have ever had was on a trip to Nigeria, so I'm grateful I was able to have some of that flavor right in my own kitchen.
