Discover The Recipe

Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Turkey with this delightful Turkish recipe featuring sumac-spiced potatoes and tangy lemon sumac fish. This dish takes you on a culinary journey that showcases the unique and tantalizing taste of sumac, a beloved spice in Turkish cuisine.

Roasted to golden perfection, the sumac infuses its distinctive tangy and nutty flavor into each bite of potato. Brace yourself for irresistibly flavorful potatoes that will have you craving more.

But the lemon sumac fish is the star of the show.

Allow the flavors to harmonize before grilling or baking the fish to succulent perfection. The tangy sumac and zesty lemon come together in perfect harmony, elevating the delicate flavors of the fish. Present your sumac-spiced potatoes and lemon-sumac fish with optional garnishes of zesty lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an extra burst of freshness. This Turkish-inspired dish is a true celebration of flavors and textures, offering a delightful taste of Turkey's culinary treasures in every mouthful.
