THAT OVEN-BAKED TASTE
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the onion wedges and the tomato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in ⅓ of the rub, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and golden, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway). In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, ⅓ of the remaining rub, and a drizzle of oil. Set aside.
PREP STEP
While the veg are roasting, cut the beef into bite-sized chunks. Peel and grate the garlic and the ginger. Rinse and pick the coriander.
THE DELISH PART OF THE DISH
In a bowl, combine the beef rump chunks, suya paste, grated garlic, grated ginger, the remaining rub, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. If too thick, add water or oil in 5ml increments until a yoghurt consistency.
READY THE ROTIS
When the roast has 12-15 minutes to go, add the dressed chickpeas to the roast, and return to the oven for the remaining time. Place a pan over a medium heat. When hot, warm the roti until heated through and lightly toasted, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, heat it on a plate in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
STICK ‘EM UP
Thread the marinated beef chunks onto each skewer, making sure they are secure. Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the skewers until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, cover in tinfoil, and leave to rest for at least 5 minutes.
SUYA WANT MORE?
