Kilishi is a traditional West African snack, similar to beef jerky, made from thinly sliced and sun-dried meat, typically beef or goat. The slices of meat are seasoned with a spicy, flavorful marinade that often includes ground peanuts, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, salt, and other spices. After marination, the meat is left to dry under the sun or oven, preserving it for long periods. Kilishi is popular in countries like Nigeria, Niger, and Ghana, and is known for its chewy texture and bold, spicy taste.
