Notes
Recipe adapted from America's Test KitchenYou may add Sumac as a finishing seasoning to the final dish. Sumac is a popular spice found in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. It comes from dried sumac berries and has a distinctive tart and tangy flavor. It can be hard to find in some markets, so a good substitute if you wish to achieve the same flavor is to drizzle with balsamic or apple cider vinegar, but this is wholly optional.
