What does sumac taste like? I saw this the other day in the spice aisle and can honestly say I can't remember ever tasting it.
It's lemony. In a mezzes/tapas restaurant we go to sometimes (wide geographical area starting in Andalucia and ending in the Levant) they have a spice mix on the table of sumac and coarse salt to dip bread in that has first been drizzled with olive oil.4 -

This. Its lemony BUT it also has this "interesting" smell and taste to it. Difficult to describe. Do what I did the first time, buy it and try it. I love it
Thanks both of you. I think I may have to pick it up. What is the best protein for it in your opinion--if not using fish?0 -

I would pick a protein that works well with an acidic tang and maybe with a little fat content to compliment the earthy scent. Lamb chops, chicken thighs or pork ribs come to mind. Traditionallly used in middle eastern cooking but also the deep south of Italy.
If you are trying it for the first time, try in in a neutral setting such as mixing sumac with a little salt and dipping bread that has been dipped or drizzled with olive oil. Or on buttered popcorn. Useful for adding a citrus tang when you don't want to add any extra liquid to a recipe, such as for balancing the flavour of meatballs or kofte.

That chicken option was a bit iffy. But the other option was pasta with pesto and my experience with pasta on airplanes has been pretty awful. Although I love homemade pesto, I hate the taste of ascorbic acid in the industrially manufactured stuff. Chicken option was kind of a 70s chicken a la king. Tasted like childhood TV dinners.
Air Canada food is not great. Best long haul economy class food I've had has been Thai Airways, Japanese Airlines and Alitalia. But yeah, those are national carriers of countries where people are a bit food obsessed.2 -

Roll your own California hand rolls and miso soup. Fillings were sushi rice, cucumber, avocado, crab sticks, omelette, green onion, chive, pickled daikon. Condiments were kikkoman soy, kewpie mayo, wasabi in a tube, furikake. The miso soup contained tofu cubes and hijiki seaweed.

It's actually a very easy to put together meal for a weeknight if you use store bought sushi vinegar for making the sushi rice which can be cooked in advance since you have it cold anyway. Optional omelette can be made in advance too, since you want it cold. Miso soup can be cheated with instant dashi powder, dry store cupboard hijiki, and miso is also a store cupboard ingredient I always have in the fridge. I make easy work of toasting nori in the air fryer. Cut a packet of sheets in half, put in the air fryer under a weight such as a coffee cup and toast on lowest temperature (80C) for 10 minutes. You could do this in a convection oven where won't need the weight as the fan is less aggressive. For the rest it is just laying out thawed crab sticks and cutting up some cold veg.That looks incredible!
It's a nice hot weather meal. A Japanese girlfriend showed me this as a budget friendly and easy family style way to serve sushi at home. No expensive sushi grade raw fish is involved and the cook doesn't need to roll anything in advance. If you don't like processed crab sticks some blanched or even pre-cooked shrimp could be substituted.

I use a basic sauce that I throw together that can be used for pretty much anything. Note I don't really measure so these are all approximations.- 3 tablespoons honey
- I use 2-3 TBSP Korean chili powder , but you can use gochujang instead. Mine is always hard and since I don't know what the ingredient list says, I assume there is lots of sugar in it, so I try not to use it (hence the reason it is hard!!!)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (sub coconut aminos if paleo)
- 1/8 - 1/4 rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1.5 teaspoon finely minced ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
I usually throw this mixture together, then pour it into a ziploc and marinate whatever I am cooking. For chicken, I marinate over night or longer, for salmon, only 30 minutes or so.
For chicken, once marinated, I throw it all (including the marinade) into the instant pot and high pressure for 10 minutes. natural release. Remove the meat, add more honey to taste (if needed) to the instant pot, a little tomato paste, salt and pepper.
Reduce by 1/3 to 1/2 depending on how much water you put in, then thicken if necessary. I use tapioca flour and water, but you can use cornstarch, etc.
Throw under broiler and enjoy!!

Pina colada sorbet for next Saturday's dinner party. Two tins of unsweetened pineapple, a tin of coconut cream, a couple of tablespoons of sugar to taste, a coupe of shots of white rum so that the mixture doesn't freeze too solid when made without an ice cream maker.
