Sumac grows in abundance throughout the Mediterranean, and its dried, ground berries are a fruity and astringent spice widely used in Middle Eastern cooking. If you can't find sumac, substitute 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind. You may need to add up to a tablespoon of water if the mixture is too thick to process smoothly. Serve with pita wedges. Ingredients:
2 cups frozen green peas |
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
3 tablespoons tahini (sesame-seed paste) |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
1 teaspoon extravirgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon ground sumac |
Directions:
1. Cook peas in boiling water 3 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water. Drain. Place peas and next 6 ingredients (through garlic) in a food processor, and process until smooth. Spoon pea mixture into a small serving bowl; chill. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with sumac just before serving.
