🇳🇬 Nigeria recipe
Asun
Asun is a fiery, smoky grilled goat meat dish that has become a sensation at Nigerian parties and social gatherings. Originating from Yoruba cuisine, asun features bite-sized pieces of goat meat that are first smoked or grilled over open flames until charred and then tossed in a blisteringly hot sauce of scotch bonnet peppers and onions. The combination of smoky, chewy meat with the intense heat of fresh peppers makes asun one of the most addictive and sought-after dishes at any Nigerian event.
