Sumac scallion Calories

To make sumac scallion, finely slice washed, thoroughly dried scallions and toss them with ground sumac. Serve soon after mixing so the scallions stay crisp; add salt, lemon, or herbs only if they suit the rest of the meal.

Sumac scallion goes especially well with kebabs, grilled meat, and kofta. Its tartness cuts through rich, savory food, and you can also tuck it into wraps or serve it alongside rice and other grilled vegetables.
