SUMAC ONIONS

SUMAC ONIONS

A simple condiment with extraordinary impact. Sumac onions are quick to prepare and endlessly versatile. The spice gently softens the onion’s sharp bite while infusing it with bright, citrusy depth. Keep a batch in the fridge and use it to finish almost any savoury dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion, very thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp sumac

  • 1 tsp organic parsley
  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Pinch of sea salt

Method

  1. Place sliced onion in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Massage gently for 1–2 minutes to soften.

  2. Add sumac, parsley, lemon juice and olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Serve with: salads, grilled meats, falafel, hummus plates, sandwiches, tacos or roasted vegetables.
