Two ways to eat well

01

Kilishi

Beef sliced thin enough to read through. Sun-dried on open racks, painted with groundnut paste and yaji, then sent back over the fire until the edges go dark and the chili sets into the surface like grit.

It tears rather than snaps. It's salt, heat, smoke and a slow sweetness underneath, and it does not taste like anything sold in a supermarket aisle.

02

Shredded Beef — Dambu Nama

Beef cooked until it gives up, then pulled into strands fine enough to catch the light. Fried down in its own spice until every thread is dry, golden and loaded.

Over white rice. Folded into agege bread. Straight from the pouch with a spoon, standing at your kitchen counter, which is how most of it actually gets eaten.

How kilishi is made

Slice — step 1 of making kilishi

01

Slice

Fresh beef, cut paper-thin by hand. Thickness is the whole game; too thick and it never dries properly.

Sun-dry — step 2 of making kilishi

02

Sun-dry

Laid out on open racks until the water is gone and the flavour concentrates.

Spice — step 3 of making kilishi

03

Spice

Coated in groundnut paste and yaji: ginger, garlic, onion, chili, salt.

Fire-roast — step 4 of making kilishi

04

Fire-roast

Back over the flame until the spice sets and the edges char. Then it cools, and it's done.

What's actually in it

Beef · Salt · Ginger · Garlic · Yaji · Onion · Vegetable Oil

No preservatives. No colouring. No additives. That's the whole list.
