What to cook
with Dodo Spice.
Every blend is tuned for a purpose. Here's how to use each one, with tips straight from our kitchen.
Food pairings
Beef Skewers
The classic suya. Coat liberally 30 minutes before grilling over charcoal. Turn once. Rest.
Tip: Add groundnut oil to the marinade for a traditional suya crust.
Chicken
Works on drumsticks, thighs or a whole bird. Blend with yoghurt or oil and marinate overnight.
Tip: Finish under a hot grill or in an air fryer for crispy skin.
Grilled Fish
Tilapia, croaker or catfish. Score the flesh, pack in the spice, and grill wrapped in foil.
Tip: Mix with palm oil and onion for an Abuja-style peppered fish.
Gizzard & Offal
Parboil first, then toss in the spice and fry or grill. The bold blend is built for this.
Tip: Finish with fried onion and scotch bonnet for full peppered gizzard.
Dodo & Plantain
Dust ripe fried plantain while hot. The light heat and sweetness of plantain are a perfect match.
Tip: Also brilliant on boli (roasted plantain). Coat before grilling.
Kilishi & Dried Meat
Rub into thin-sliced beef before dehydrating or use as a finishing seasoning on commercial kilishi.
Tip: Combine with liquid smoke for an indoor kilishi without a smoker.
Popcorn & Snacks
Toss hot popcorn with melted butter and a generous pinch. Works on peanuts, chips and eggs too.
Tip: Kids love the Mild blend on popcorn: all the flavour, none of the burn.
Eggs
Scrambled, fried or boiled, a pinch transforms a plain egg into a full morning.
Tip: Stir into scrambled eggs with tomato, onion and peppers for a suya omelette.
