Asun

Nigeria · Sub-Saharan Africa

Short description: Asun is spicy peppered goat meat, usually served in bite-size pieces with a smoky, hot finish.
Ingredients: Goat meat is grilled, smoked, or fried, then tossed with hot pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, seasoning, and sometimes bell pepper.
Cultural note: It often works as party or bar food: intense heat, small pieces, and a seasoning-heavy finish make it easy to share.
Common misconception: It is not a long-simmered goat stew; the defining texture is grilled or smoked meat finished with pepper.
