    Hello Kamushek!
    Thank you for adding me as a cooking buddy. This looks like a dish I had while in Turkey and it was really really great. Brings back many exciting and fond memories. Thank you. We are devoid of true middle eastern cuisine here in the northeast and what we do have just doesn't have the ambience, smell or feel of the middle eastern rustic cooking. I am going to attempt to make it next weekend and will let you know how well I fared. Thanks again.

    Hey Sunny,
    Middle eastern Sumac is a reddish purple powder (actually starts off as a berry had it in Turkey) and is tart and sour. Sweetening it with cooked onions mellows it out but gives a zing in the background. It is related to our smooth red sumac here in the northeast (not the white since that is the type that causes blisters and such) but ours is not as pungent and is actually sweeter. We use it as an astringent or make a tea that is sort of sweet when boiled and strained. A number of ethnic stores in NYC do carry it tho I have seen it.

    sunny, as I`ve mentioned already, sumac can be replaced with lemon zest or something similar that gives sour taste

    Sumac can be found in indian or arabic store.
    But you can replace it with lemon zest or something like it to get that sourish taste

    This looks very interesting. If I can not find sumac, what would you suggest as an alternative?
