Moi Moi for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Moi Moi for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The complex and robust profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced palm oil used that way before.

suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. I explained the a Lagos buka local restaurant context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. Fanta orange was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
