Sumac, the strange herb you see everywhere!

4.8/5

There are sumac trees all around us, and I never knew that's where the spice came from.

This recipe was inspired by one of the marvellous 'Moro' cookbooks from Sam and Sam Clarke. Sumac, a sharp, lemony powder, ground from red berries give this dish its distinctive fresh taste. Serve with simple tomato salad, a creamy-garlic hummus, homemade pitta breads and you will be in Casablanca - possibly.

Method

  1. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil a small oven proof casserole dish or Dutch oven.
