I’m addicted. So is my 1 yr old. I make this 2x/week. I add about one tablespoon of sumac b/c I like the spice and the lemony flavor it provides. DELISH! Thank you FoodTV!

This was a great side dish and I was so excited to see a recipe using Sumac. I love this spice and rarely is it called for. Very simple dish. It was a great light lunch to start the new year. I added a bit more sweet potato (because I had it.
