Description

Sumac comes from the Arabic “summaq,” which means “dark red.” It is a deep red, astringent spice popular in Middle Eastern cooking. Sumac is made from the berry fruit of the Rhus Coriaria shrub, which was originally grown in parts of the Mediterranean basin, and then spread to Europe. The sumac berries are dried, then ground and sifted to get rid of the bitter inner seed, producing a tangy and deep flavor with hints of earthy sweetness and floral citrus notes.

    How to Use

    It is a great way to add lemony flavor to dishes or rubs. It pairs wonderfully with meat like lamb, helping to cut through the richness and balance it out. It can be used in salad dressings, marinades, and homemade dips, or as a finishing touch on a variety of dishes (similar to how a squeeze of lemon juice at the end of cooking immediately brightens a dish).

    Suzy's Tips

    One of my favorite salad dressings requires nothing more than a dash of sumac, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh lemon juice.
