Notes
- Use fresh ingredients. Start with fresh red onions, lemons, and parsley. Fresh ingredients will contribute to better taste and texture.
- Cut thin slices. Slice the red onions into thin, uniform half-moons. This ensures even pickling and a consistent texture in your sumac onions.
- Allow time to marinate. While you can enjoy sumac onions immediately, they develop more depth of flavor with time. Letting them marinate in the dressing for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator will result in a more pronounced taste.
