Sumac and zaatar and relish, oh my!

Oh my golly! A whole article in the New York Times about my beloved sumac, with fine ideas and recipes within. I'm particularly intrigued by the recipe for sumac and onion relish, which I bet would be just wonderful tucked in a pita with chickpeas.

In case you're wondering, the lovely thing to do with that zaatar, once you've made or purchased some, is to mix it with a little olive oil and spread it over pita bread. Toast it in your oven or toaster oven at about 350° F for 10 minutes. Cut into wedges and consume with many exclamations of tastiness.

Other sumac-related treats: mashed potatoes with zaatar and a Mediterranean arranged salad.
