tony b Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I was inspired by @Aussie Ora's OTB thinking when it comes to his unconventional use of rubs on "the wrong meats." So, last night I did a chicken breast with suya rub on the KK. While I braved the cold and snow to cook the chicken, I wasn't about to hang out and take pictures of the cook. But, I did take one of the plated results - with steamed broccoli and curry rice. Hats off to Aussie for inspiring me to try something unconventional! And, YES, suya pepper rub is very good on chicken! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just like doing the beef skewers, the trick is to apply the rub several times during the cook to amp up the flavor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made this with The Suya pepper @tekobo sent me. The traditional onion and tomato are included in the form of a board sauce, with extra Suya pepper sprinkled on top. My last suya cook was highlighted in the monthly Amazing Ribs "Hot From The Pit" newsletter. The word is out...and now folks over at AR are learning about suya too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do drink gari with my suya and my mother was only last Sunday telling me about eating kilishi and how delicious it was. I have used a lot of superlatives to describe my excitement about my KK friends' adventures in suya but this time I will use a word that my mother invented. I am flabberwhelmed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Fish tacos v shrimp tacos? It's a draw! The Husband brought back a whole stack of corn tortillas from Houston on Saturday morning. Had friends round to try, in quick succession, shrimp and then fish and then beef tacos. No photos at table but KK shots below. I left some suya pepper on the table for people to help themselves to additional. Had to restrain Spanish friend from sprinkling too liberally until he had judged the level of chilli! All good. I marinaded the prawns lime zest, suya pepper and oil for a couple of hours. Real quick cook in KK. Soaked wooden skewers were fine. My fingers were not! Marinaded sea bass steaks in lime juice and Texan friend's chipotle spice mix and oil. I oiled the grill between cooks and found that jiggling the fish a little with tongs before trying to turn meant that I managed to keep the skin on most of them. Added suya pepper at table once flaked. All the usual fixings - salad, chipotle mayonnaise, avocado, roast tomato salsa and some mature red Leicester cheese. The cheese was picked so it was the same colour as Monterey Jack but I suspect they taste very different. Accompanied by margaritas. A good night was had by all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
