A

of warning to Nigerians over the consumption of barbecued beef popularly
called Suya.
Suya with vegetables
Consumers of barbecued beef popularly called “Suya” have
been advised to always ensure that generous portions of onions, cabbage,
tomatoes and other vegetables were eaten along with it.
Suya is generally made with skewered beef, ram, or chicken. Innards such as kidney, liver and tripe are also used.
The thinly sliced meat is marinated in various spices which include
peanut cake, salt, vegetable oil and other flavourings, and then
barbecued.
