I had recently got some Sumac powder from Dubai and this recipe for seemed to be the first step in using this tangy, lemony powder. I essentially used the traditional recipe for Hummus and substituted Sumac for lemon juice. The result was a mildly tangy and nutty dip that paired very well with the crispy, crunchy Falafel.
