Vibrant onions with sumac, herbs, oil and vinegar—a quick, tangy side or flavor-packed garnish.
# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 -
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
→ Seasoning
02 -
2 teaspoons sumac
03 -
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
→ Dressing
04 -
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or lemon juice
05 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
→ Herbs
06 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
# How to Make It:
01 -
Place thinly sliced red onion in a medium bowl. Sprinkle sumac and salt over the onions and gently massage with your hands for 30 to 60 seconds until the onions begin to soften.
02 -
Pour red wine vinegar or lemon juice and olive oil over the onions. Add chopped fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly to combine the ingredients evenly.
03 -
Cover the bowl and set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to develop.
04 -
Stir the onions before serving. Drain off any excess liquid if needed. Serve as a salad, side, or condiment. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
The onions will soften further as they marinate; drain excess liquid before serving.
02 -
Replace parsley with fresh mint or cilantro for a different flavor profile.
03 -
White or yellow onions may be substituted for red onion, adjusting flavor balance if desired.
04 -
Red wine vinegar intensifies the onion’s pink hue, but lemon juice offers a fresher note.
