These nutty Nigerian kebabs serve as perfect barbecue treat, and are traditionally served as street food in West Africa.
Ingredients
| 4 | wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes |
| 400g | beef steak or chicken, cut into 5cm cubes |
| For the marinade: | |
| 1 tbsp | garlic powder |
| 1 tbsp | onion powder |
| 1 tbsp | smoked paprika |
| ½ tbsp | white pepper |
| ½ tbsp | cayenne pepper |
| 4 tbsps | smooth unsweetened peanut butter |
| 8-12 tbsps | stock |
Method
-
Pre heat oven to 230C/450F and line a tray with tin foil.
-
Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl to form a paste – your looking for a consistency that can be brushed onto the meat.
-
Thread the meat onto the skewers, keeping them tight to one and other.
-
Brush the meat with the marinade on both sides and leave to marinade for at least 30 minutes (the longer you leave them to marinade the better the flavour)
-
Place on the baking tray and bake for around 20-30 minutes until fully cooked (if using chicken) or until the steak is cooked to your liking – turn them halfway through cooking.
