Pure Sumac (mild)

Made from the dried, crushed berries of a sumac tree, Sumac (or sumak) is an essential part of any Middle Eastern cuisine. It imparts the citrusy taste of lemon without any of the acidity and is delicious in marinades, seasonings, stews and soups. Most others have added salt but ours is nothing but pure sumac. Mix 2 tsp with a splash of good oil for a fab marinade for lamb kebabs - don't forget to brush more on whilst they cook too, using a herby brush for maximum flavour! It's also great as a snack - mix with oil (with a splash of a good vinegar or lemon juice if you prefer) and brush over pitta or flatbreads. It's also great sprinkled over pizza! Add to stews, meats, fish, vegetables, salad dressings even flatbreads to give a really aromatic note.
