Ingredients
- 3 tsp finely ground roasted peanuts
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper or red pepper, or red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground ginger (optional)
- ½ garlic paste (optional)
- ½ tsp onion paste (optional)
- 1 Lb meat (beef or chicken), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 onion, peeled and cut into chunks (optional)
- 1 tomato, cut into chunks (optional)
- 1-2 sweet green or red pepper, cleaned and cut into chunks (optional)
Directions
For the ground peanut powder
Remove shells and skins from roasted peanuts. Grind the peanuts into a coarse powder. Stir the spices into the powder, mixing well. Add the cayenne pepper to the mixture. Divide the peanut-spice mix into two parts, putting half in one bowl and half in another. Set one bowl aside.
Dip and roll the meat in the other bowl of the peanut-spice mix, making sure the meat is completely coated. Allow the meat to marinate for thirty minutes or more. Preheat the grill or oven for 10-15 minutes.
Place the meat on skewers (alternating with the onion, tomato, and sweet pepper, if desired). Grill until the meat is done. Serve with the reserved peanut-spice mix, for sprinkling or dipping as desired.
