Ingredients
  

2 large red onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon sumac powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced red onions with olive oil, sumac powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the onions are evenly coated.

    Add the red wine vinegar and honey (if using) to the onion mixture. This will balance the tanginess and introduce a hint of sweetness.

      Let the onions marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the onions to soften.

        After marinating, give the onions a gentle toss again. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or sumac according to your preference.

          Serve the sumac onions in a bowl, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor. They make a perfect topping for grilled meats, in sandwiches, or as part of a mezze platter.
