"My purple onions are living their best Sumac life" 

 

 

If there’s one thing I love in the kitchen, it’s a recipe that makes me feel like I’ve done a lot when really, I’ve done almost nothing. Enter Sumac Onions, the ultimate “fake it till you make it” side dish. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, you can whip up a bowl of flavour-packed, Middle Eastern-inspired onions that taste incredible. 

 

 

Let’s talk flavour, because these onions aren’t just onions, they’re onions with attitude. Thanks to the sumac, adding a tangy flavour to the onions. The fresh parsley adds a bright lift, while a squeeze of lemon juice gives a citrusy zing that cuts through richer dishes. 

 

The sumac adds a Middle Eastern flair, a nod to its roots in Turkish, Lebanese, Syrian, and Persian cuisine, where it has long been used to brighten grilled meats, rice, and salads. Tossing these simple ingredients together gives you a fusion kachumar, a play on a South-Asian side salad, that’s tangy, fresh, and surprisingly lifting.

 

The first time I made it, I paired it with comforting dhaal, then tried it alongside biryani, and wow, what a combo! The freshness of parsley and the zing of sumac onions balanced the rich, spiced dishes perfectly. I also served them with my mum’s chicken and vegetable skewers, tucked into naan with a dollop of yoghurt chutney. Recently you may have seen it added to the Viral Döner Kebab Wraps I made (recipe here). Quick, easy, and ridiculously versatile, these Sumac Onions elevate almost any meal the ultimate easy topping for pitas and wraps.
