Suya spice is the most versatile blend in your spice rack
Most British home cooks think of suya as just a beef skewer rub. It's so much more. The peanut-paprika-ginger-chilli profile works on almost any protein you cook in a UK kitchen, and on a few vegetables you wouldn't expect. After a year of testing across hundreds of UK home kitchens, here are the 7 ways British cooks are actually using Costack Suya Spice (Smoky Peanut BBQ Rub).
1. Beef skewers (the classic)
Cube 600g sirloin or ribeye. Coat with 3 tbsp Costack Suya Spice + 2 tbsp oil. Thread on skewers. Grill 2-3 minutes per side over high heat. Serve with raw onion and lime. Full recipe here.
2. Suya wings
1kg chicken wings, patted dry, rubbed with 2 tbsp Costack Suya Spice + 1 tbsp baking powder. Air-dry in fridge 4 hours. Roast at 220C for 35-40 minutes. Sticky, smoky, peanutty. Better than any wing chain in the UK.
3. Suya grilled lamb chops
4 lamb chops, rubbed with 1.5 tbsp Costack Suya Spice + a squeeze of lemon. Rest 30 minutes. Grill or pan-fry 3 minutes each side for medium. Rest 3 minutes. Serve with mint sauce or yoghurt + cucumber.
4. Suya salmon
Sounds weird, tastes incredible. 4 salmon fillets, dry-rubbed with 1.5 tbsp Costack Suya Spice + 1 tbsp oil. Bake at 200C for 14 minutes. The peanut-paprika rub crusts the surface while the salmon stays buttery inside.
5. Suya halloumi (vegetarian)
Slice 2 blocks of halloumi into 1cm slices. Rub with 1 tbsp Costack Suya Spice. Pan-fry in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. 2 minutes per side. Serve over salad with lemon dressing.
6. Suya popcorn
Sounds strange. Tastes excellent at a party. Pop 100g popcorn kernels with 2 tbsp oil. While hot, toss with 1 tbsp Costack Suya Spice + 1 tsp sea salt + 1 tsp sugar. The sweet-salty-spicy-nutty combination is addictive.
7. Suya pasta
Cook 400g penne. While the pasta cooks: brown 500g beef mince in a pan. Add 2 tbsp Costack Suya Spice, 1 tin chopped tomatoes, 100ml beef stock. Simmer 10 minutes. Stir in cooked pasta. Top with parmesan. A bold, savoury twist on pasta that genuinely works.
