Super sumac
Sprinkle lemony sumac over salad, meat or fish for a lovely tangy flavour. Experiment with this super spice, often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking.

Pomegranate and sumac chicken is an ideal dish for an outdoor summer party. I favour cooking it in the oven because the marinade is apt to burn on a barbecue. Sumac is Turkey’s favourite spice. It’s a red berry with an astringent, lemony flavour, the fruit of a small bush. This dish is ideal as part of a warm and cold buffet where people have a bit of everything including a rice pilaf.
