SUYA BREAD SWIRLS RECIPE

Yaji spice (which is used in making the ever popular Suya) is a peanut base dry mixed rub from West Africa (Ghana and Nigeria). It’s best used for marinating Meat, Fish, Vegetables or Poultry for the grill in making your personalised Suya.

Inspired by the Nigerian sandwich I created these bread swirls.

Imagine freshly baked Butter or Agege bread with Avocado butter, grilled Suya and Onion slices for a sandwich. You can turn this dream into a reality ooh!

 Thank me later for the inspiration 😘.
