Omega Sumac Powder: tangy red sumac for fattoush, kebabs, musakhan and zaatar. Single 1 kg pack.
Sumac powder is made from dried, ground red sumac berries and has a tangy, lemony flavour. It is a staple in Levantine and Turkish cooking: sprinkled over fattoush, onion salads, hummus, grilled kebabs, musakhan chicken and rice, and blended into zaatar. Sumac adds sourness without liquid, so it is ideal for dry rubs and finishing. Its deep red colour also makes it an attractive garnish for dips, eggs and roasted vegetables. Culinary sumac comes mostly from Rhus coriaria, a plant of the cashew and mango family, and should not be confused with poison sumac. Keep sumac sealed in a dark place, as light fades its red colour and sour flavour. Sumac onions, made by tossing sliced onion with sumac, salt and parsley, are a classic side for kebabs and shawarma. It also adds colour and tang to roast chicken and grilled fish.
