Sumac

Ground Sumac is the tangy, citrusy powder from the fruit of the sumac shrub. Often used in classic Middle Eastern cooking, its slightly tangy, citrus-like tones are the perfect accompaniment to char-grilled chicken, and the preparation and brick cooking in this recipe guarantee a quick, crisp result.

Ingredients: sumac

Uses: Sprinkle Sumac on fish, chicken or salads. Season marinades, salad dressings, soups, hummus. Use as a rub for meats prior to grilling. Mix with strained yogurt for a light, delicate sauce. Try substituting anywhere you might squeeze fresh lemon juice.
