Answer:
Sumac
Rhus coriaria
Fam: Anacardiaceae
This spice comes from the berries of a wild bush that grows wild in all Mediterranean areas, especially in Sicily and southern Italy, and parts of the Middle East, especially Iran. It is an important ingredient in Arabic cooking, being chosen over lemon for sourness. Lots of other types of sumac crop up in moderate areas of the world. In North America Rhus glabra is known for its use in the tanning industry and for its medicinal properties. Also in North Americai is the related Rhus toxicodendron (poison ivy) which can cause a severe skin reaction when touched.
The berries are dried and crushed to form a coarse purple-red powder. The whole fruit appears in dense clusters. Individual berries are small, round, 10 mm (1/4”) in diameter, russet coloured and covered with hairs.
It has a slightly aromatic aroma and is sour with a fruity overtone
The berries can be dried, ground and scattered into the cooking, or brewed in hot water and mashed to release their juice, the ensuing liquid being used as you might use lemon juice. Ground sumac keeps well if kept away from light and air.
Sumac is used extensively in food preparation in Arabia, Turkey and the Levant, and especially in Lebanese cuisine. In these areas it is a major souring agent, used where other regions would make use of lemon, tamarind or vinegar. It is rubbed on to kebabs before grilling and may be used in this way with fish or chicken. The juice extracted from sumac is commonly used in salad dressings and marinades and the powdered kind is used in stews and vegetable and chicken casseroles.
Attributed Medicinal Properties
The berries have diuretic properties, and are used in bowel complaints and for reducing fever. In the Middle East, a sour drink is made from them to relieve stomach upsets.
you can use it to condiment middle eastern food, especially sprinkled on top of basmati rice.
Sumac is used in a variety of middle eastern dishes. It has a semi mild sour taste. Its used as a garnish as well as in salads.
Sumac comes from the sumac tree in the far east regions. It has a distinct taste. If used to much it is overpowering. People from India,Russia etc use this herb. Its good for dipping sauces, great for chili and homemade barbecue sauce. One thing though, when I first started using this herb, I put quite a lot and ever body that night ended up with a headache? not sure if its related. I have used many times after with no problems
