This is a wonderful recipe! I only cooked the long beans for 5 minutes because we like them crisp. I am delighted to have another way to use my garden long beans.
I have a question about sumac. I am new to using it (I have just used it lightly on salads) and I really don't know how much to use-in this recipe I used 1/4 teaspoon. Would it have been better to use more? I would really appreciate more details about how to use sumac.
very good ımm :) wonderfull
Hi Julia,
Thank you! I am glad that you liked the salad:) It depends on how sour you like your salad or anything seasoned with sumac. I use 1/2 tsp sumac for this recipe:) Personally, I love the sour taste, for instance I sprinkle almost 1 tbsp sumac on my lahmacun (Turkish ground beef pizza) with lemon juice:)
