Sumac

This Middle Eastern spice mixture is so delicious we suggest doubling the recipe and using the extra for a snack: Dunk some bread (such as pita) in flavorful olive oil and then in the za'atar. Or sprinkle za'atar over plain yogurt and drizzle with olive oil, and you've got a terrific dip.

Grilled steak, fresh corn, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy pita chips come together for a summer-flavor party in your mouth.

This cold, creamy, scoopable dessert features a ribbon of sumac-spiced mango and finely chopped dark chocolate.

Whether you don't eat corn or just want a change from your usual popcorn routine, these toasty, seasoned rice cakes make for the ultimate snack.

This salad is a textural dream—creamy Tepary beans, sturdy dandelion greens, crumbly goat cheese—but our favorite part might be the bright cranberry-sumac dressing.

These make-ahead green beans soak up a bright lemon and sumac dressing overnight.

We added garlic and chile in addition to the traditional sumac for these Lebanese-style fried eggs.

Yes, you can treat parsley as a salad green, as long as your bunch isn’t woody. Sweet molasses and tart sumac make it vibrant. As for the raw onions, massage them with salt and let them sit for half an hour so they’re not so astringent. Also, adds Ottolenghi, “so you don’t burb.”
