Sumac

Sumac is a spice that is commonly used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Southwest Asian cuisine. It is made from the dried and ground berries of sumac. The use of sumac is very varied. It is often used to add acidity to dishes, as it has a lemony, sour flavor. It is therefore commonly used in marinades, salad dressings, sauces and soups. Sumac is also used for its unique flavor in meat, fish and vegetable dishes. It is often sprinkled on grilled or roasted meat dishes, such as kebab, shawarma and roast chicken. It can also be used to season vegetables, salads and seafood. Non contractual photo.
