Sumac and Lime Beef Skewers
Sumac is a tangy, fruity and slightly smoky spice which is a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine. It pairs so beautifully with lime and beef - you won’t be able to get enough of these! Serve with some Greek yoghurt mixed with garlic and lime juice, and a simple Middle Eastern Fattoush salad.
