That\u00b4s Sumac!!!The incredibly versatile and decorative ingredient is a quintessential item in the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean kitchen.<\/p><p><strong><br \/>What is Sumac?<\/strong> <br \/>The powdered sumac that we use in cooking comes from the shrub called Sumac. There are various species and not all are edible but the common and widespread specie has a big red cone shaped fruit, composed of individual drupes. The seed inside each drupe is then dried and ground into a red powder that we then use as spice and garnish in cooking.<\/p><p><strong>How does Sumac taste?<br \/><\/strong>It tastes incredible. It\u00b4s citric, lemony, tart, slightly astringent, almost vinegar- like.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>How to store Sumac ? <br \/><\/strong>Like other spices, sumac should be kept in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat and light to retain its claret red colour and tangy flavor.<\/p><p><strong>How to use Sumac ?<br \/><\/strong>Sumac works really well wherever lemon juice usually would. It\u2019s used in everything from marinades, dressings and rubs. But its best use is sprinkled over food before serving, e.g. over white fish, chicken or kebab. Dust over lentils or vegetables or on top of refreshing salads or yoghurt dips!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4d029eb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4d029eb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f7222b2\" data-id=\"f7222b2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27c0573 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"27c0573\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"969\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs\/sumac\/sumac-sprinkle-969x485.jpg\" class=\"attachment-airi-969-485 size-airi-969-485\" alt=\"Sumac-Sprinkle\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever dined in a Levantine, Middle Eastern or Persian restaurant, you may have noticed the deep red, purplish [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":651,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[16,15,14],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=684"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1116,"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684\/revisions\/1116"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
