Description

Simple Sumac Onions is a quick and flavorful condiment that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, kebabs, or salads. The tangy sumac and fresh lemon juice add a zesty kick to the thinly sliced red onions, making it a versatile and delicious addition to any meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Red Onion:

  • 1 large red onion thinly sliced

Lemon Juice Mixture:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground sumac
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Additional:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onions: Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half moons.
  2. Place the onion slices in a medium bowl and add the lemon juice, olive oil, sumac, and salt. Toss well to coat the onions evenly.

  3. Marinate: Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes to soften and allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Finish: Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving. Serve as a condiment with grilled meats, kebabs, or salads.

Notes

  • For a sharper flavor, increase the lemon juice or sumac to taste.
  • If you prefer milder onions, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes before dressing them.
  • These onions can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
