Tips
Try adding a tin of rinsed and drained chickpeas for a satisfying meal.
Sumac is the fruit of a shrub that grows throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean. It has a pleasant tangy taste with a hint of citrus fruitiness and virtually no aroma.
Sumac goes well with chicken, fish and seafood, lamb, eggplant, chickpeas and lentils.
