Sumac recipes

Sumac is a tangy, lemony spice often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. Try using it in salads instead of lemon juice or to season grilled meat and fish. It’s also delicious sprinkled over hummus.

Fattoush
by Simon Rimmer

This fattoush salad is all about sourness. The combination of lemon and sumac really packs a punch. Great with a barbecue.
