They all said THIS is why Middle East food is so good, so we tried!

There is one ingredient that is always added to everything when I go to any middle eastern restaurant. It's called SUMAC and today we try it on steaks as you said its the reason why the food in the middle east is so amazing.

Guga, when you do experiments you should have the "special ingredient" in a small plate covered with something on the table too and reveal it at the end. That way you and the co hosts can try the ingredient by itself and compare it to the steak directly. I think it would be interesting! Cheers

Sumac is awesome. Comes from rhus tree. Is amazing on salads with lots of onion, mint and coriander (cilantro to my American friends and botanists.) Libya, Morocco Algeria, all these cuisines use it. It’s delicious. It’s always in my cupboard.

As a middle eastern, growing up we ate sumac with a lot of different foods. The best is when you mix sumac with sliced onions and a little bit of parsley. This mix pairs amazingly well with beef kabobs. You take your pita put a piece of kabob and top it with the mix, fold that pita and enjoy.

as an arab and a middle eastern, we use sumac as a garnish usually to give the protein a sour taste. It is also used as a garnish in side dishes like hummus, moutabel, and batata harra. Cooking with sumac is mostly done in North African Countries (Moroccan Tajin). All the best Guga

[SKPetel]

As a Middle Eastern chef, I recommend you try marinading lamb or beef in a mix of sumac, Labne (dried hanged yogurt), salt, black pepper, and fresh garlic. best to use for skewers over a charcoal fire. eat with a squeeze of lemon, parsley, and flatbread.

Guga please try Fermented Shrimp Paste!! Dry age or just sous vide! It is the MSG of South East Asia!!!

[georgecostan]

One of the most special seasoning used for meat was the butterfly pea powder. Please dry age with it or make a compound butter with it! Also, since you like crazy experiments, try also with Romanian zacusca or cocoa powder.

Interesting. Where Im from (East Texas, USA) We call this tree "Smooth Sumac" and sometimes make a drink from the berries. You soak the berries in cold water which creates a kind of tart lemonade. I had no idea you could dry the berries and add them as a seasoning to stuff. Awesome!

[jochemloeve]

as a little tip for the side dish, I like to toast my orzo in some butter before adding liquids to it to develop that nice toasted nutty flavour, might not be everyone's preference but just an idea!

[TeguBuzz]

Great video guys! My family is Armenian-Lebanese and we use Sumac on our dolma’s, on our yogurt, on our salad, the list goes on. I could put it on anything!

[parham]

Aa an iranian, sumac (somagh) is very popular to be eaten with Kubideh Kebab. We put somac on the kebab after it's cooked (not as a seasoning before)

[fokia]

Hi Guga, here in Portugal this pasta is used in a soup called "Canja de Galinha". It's chicken soup. Super easy to make and delicious.

[adamlowe]

Every episode. EVERY episode, I sit here in the UK watching and get so jealous of your taste testers :p
i love using sumac, especially with lamb

[letmehavemyhandle]

guga, in iran we use sumac next to kebab. it pairs perfectly with meat.
also, traditional iranian medicine advices using sumac next to meat.

[TheOriginalFaxon]

Guga please try Aleppo Peppers as well if you're doing middle eastern flavors. It's not an MSG substitute per se, but it's a delicious chili pepper that's mild in terms of heat and big in terms of flavor, and I think they go great on steaks! If you want a little flavor of the Levant in your cooking, this is one great way to do it, and it's easy to get online

[ramzikawa]

Sumac + butter is the best way to cook any meat. I use it to cook chicken heart and liver, it makes them taste like rich flavorful meat. Also orzo is great to use to make a lovely, buttery rice that you can also douse in sumac.

[kameeelo]

I love sumac on kebab and we call it sumagh. now that you are wondernig around middle eastern spices, how about testing zafron? we usually use zafron on chicken and some of our stews that have meat in them like khoresht gheyme and we make tah chin and tahdig with it. 😋

[willtruitt]

Bro put more effort into the side dish than I do into any meal ever

[rudysmith]

I'm shocked! I use sumac all the time because I cook Turkish cuisine a lot, but I've never tried it on any kind of steak. You learn something every day!

In Morocco, preserved lemons are a staple flavoring for chicken dishes like chicken with olives and preserved lemons cooked in a tagine pot low and slow.

In Germany, they know how to use vinegar to good effect, and sauerbraten is their classic low and slow beef roast with a long marinade. Juniper berries are an important part of the flavor.
