About

Sumac comes from the dried and crushed fruits of a shrub to small tree (Rhus coriaria), and is a widely used spice in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. With its acidic caste, it is a good substitute for lemon as a seasoning.

Ingredients

60 ml (2 fl oz/¼ cup) extra virgin olive oil
2

Method

Put the olive oil and molasses in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste, and stir to combine. Dress the parsley with this sauce, then add the walnuts and ground sumac.
