Vegan Nigerian Suya Recipe

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, tomato paste, ground peanuts, paprika, ground ginger, ground garlic, onion powder, ground cayenne pepper, salt, vegetable oil, and lemon/lime juice. Mix well to form a smooth paste.

Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and gently toss them with the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Let the tofu marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor.

If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

Place the skewers on the grill or on a baking sheet if using the oven.

Cook the tofu skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and slightly charred.

While grilling, brush the remaining marinade on the tofu skewers for added flavor.

Remove the tofu skewers from the grill or oven and let them cool slightly.

Garnish with chopped onions and tomatoes if desired.

Serve the Nigerian Suya skewers hot as an appetizer or main dish. They pair well with a side of Nigerian Jollof Rice or a fresh salad.
