Ingredient appreciation — what makes Suya special

What sets Suya apart is the handling of ogiri fermented seeds. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the complex and robust result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Nigerian cuisine varies between the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic culinary traditions. The a family gathering atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Fanta orange as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Suya is the place to start.
