Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Stick meat is the Nigerian party small chop of bite-sized beef, boiled in spices until tender, then fried or baked, tossed in a peppery sauce and threaded on toothpicks with squares of red, green and yellow bell pepper and onion. It is not suya: no yaji, no grill, no long skewer. It is a tray of colourful toothpicks passed round at weddings, owambes and office parties, and sold as street food in some cities.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 9 ingredients and 5 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
