Author Notes
One time, I wanted to reduce my carbs and still eat well. I happened upon a gorgeous vegan burger recipe on Instagram by (https://www.instagram.com...).
The result is a suya-spiced beef burger in an avocado bun. Which could also be a purple cabbage one, or lettuce even.
The patty takes your favourite mix and spices it up with some (pea)nutty goodness. If you're using already made patties, sprinkle some suya spice on both sides before cooking, and afterwards.
Serve with your favourite sides/ fillings

Directions
-
The patty/ make your fave patty mix. Add a teaspoon of the suya spice, for every patty portion. Sprinkle some spice on both sides of the patty, about half a teaspoon per patty. Cook as you like.
If using already made patties, sprinkle suya spice on both sides. Cook as you like.
Serve extra suya spice on the side
-
For the bun/ assembly:
Cut each avocado - if using - in half. Remove the seed and using a tablespoon, seperate the flesh from the skin.
I sliced a bit off the halves – about 1 centimetre – and saved it for a salad.

Begin the layering: I like to begin with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and then the patty.
Top with chopped cilantro.
Finish with the bun and sprinkle on some toasted black sesame seeds
For the first 9 years of my life I hated food and really loved sugar till Wimpy (British Fast Food chain) changed my life! These days, all grown up, I've junked junk food and spend my days and nights on a quest - to find and share the sweet, sweet nectar that's food in The #NewNigerianKitchen!
Dreaming, cooking, eating and writing...about and adoring a strong food community that's big and bold enough to embrace the world's diverse cuisines - I'm passionate about celebrating Nigerian cuisine in its entirety.
Why do I love food so? It is forgiving. Make a recipe. Have it go bad....but wake up tomorrow and you can have another go at succeeding! Only with food!
