Sumac crusted Dhufish w/asparagus
Submitted by till on Sun, 2008-11-09 13:16.
So I have had some lying around and was wondering what to do with it. This is so easy you won't believe it.
Turn oven on to 200 C and preheat glass tray.
Preboil asparagus lightly in a shallow pan.
Rub room-temp fish down with olive oil, give a heavy coating of sumac, and then fry for a few minutes a side.
Pop straight into oven for 10min .
While its in the oven griddle the asparagus untill cooked.
Plate and serve with a little lemon on the side.

Sumac
A sprinkling of this pretty purple spice adds a tangy lemony flavour to meat and salads.
Sumac (pronounced SOO-mak) is the fruit of a shrub (Rhus coriaria) that grows throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean. These berries vary in colour from brick red to dark purple, depending on where the shrub is grown.
Berries are harvested just before they ripen, then left in the sun to dry. While whole dried berries are available in the growing regions, in Australia sumac is usually sold as a coarse or fine powder.
Prior to the introduction of lemons, the Romans used sumac as a souring agent. It has a pleasant tangy taste with a hint of citrus fruitiness and virtually no aroma.
Buying
Available in the spice section of most supermarkets.
Have a great day.

There is a bit more to it
There is a bit more to it than a lemony flavour, and its a cool red colour as well!
Middle-Eastern shops would have it! Next is Za'atar which I think is a mix of herbs including Sumac.
