Any ideas anyone? I've just found out that I need to make some for next week, last to know as usual

Anyway, I CAN use Google but was hoping for some tried and tested recipes that you lot might know. I don't mind making cakes or savoury foods but I really don't want anything that would involved marinating a lamb for 3 weeks or something.

And no sheeps eyes

Thanking you in anticipation

Why not just search recipes for Middle Eastern Food.......Not sure if its still in print but I have a Middle Eastern cookbook by Claudia Roden (think thats her name)

And Foul medames

They also eat falafel and pittas, I think.

I had a Syrian friend at uni who made this beautifully. Highly recommended Substituting the lemon juice with lime - or using both - makes for a tasty variation. I like to throw a little red onion in, too.

That does sound yum actually. I suppose that I could use lemon balm or lemon mint in place of the sumac?

If you have a turkish shop near you they would sell sumac!
