Sumac Onions

Sumac Onions are a staple side dish in Middle Eastern cooking, including Fattoush (vegetable and bread/pita salad) and they partner with any kind of skewered meats.

There are as many recipes for Sumac Onions as there are cooks. When trying out new spices we go slow and as we acquire a taste, may add more. And we all loved these onions from the first bite, in Fattoush Salad.

As a garnish, a few onions will do and even this recipe makes enough to store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The entire batch has 8 Carbs.
