How to Make West African Kebabs

  1. Trim excess fat from 1 lb of your choice of meat (beef, lamb, or chicken).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the following seasoning ingredients: 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp ground coriander, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the meat with half of the seasoning mixture. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the meat is evenly coated. Marinate for at least one hour (or preferably longer) in the refrigerator.
  4. While the meat marinates, prepare 1 large green bell pepper and 1 large red bell pepper by cutting them into 1-inch cubes.
  5. Thread the marinated meat onto skewers, alternating with the bell pepper pieces.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked through and the peppers are tender and slightly charred. (Cooking time may vary depending on your grill and the thickness of your meat).
  7. Remove the kebabs from the grill and sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup of powdered peanuts.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful West African Kebabs! Consider serving with a side of rice or couscous.
