Quick Sumac Onions
Quick sumac onions made with thinly sliced red onions, lemon juice, olive oil, and sumac. Fresh, tangy, and ready in minutes—perfect for adding brightness to shawarma, grilled meats, and everyday meals.
Ingredients
- 2 medium red onions
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice , freshly squeezed
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp sumac
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley , chopped
Instructions
- Slice the onions in half lengthwise, peel, and cut into thin half-moons. Transfer them to a medium bowl.
- Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, sumac, and Aleppo pepper. Using your hands, gently work everything together for 1–2 minutes until the onions soften slightly and take on the flavors.
- Finish with the chopped parsley and give it a quick toss to combine.
Notes
- Onions: Red onions are the classic choice here, but you can use white onions if needed. Just expect a slightly sharper flavor.
- Make Ahead & Storage: These actually improve as they sit. You can make them 2–3 days in advance and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep well for up to 4 days—just give them a quick toss before serving.
