Sumac Citrus Pepper Salt

A lemon pepper salt with extra brightness. Kosher salt and cracked black peppercorns are blended with cracked lemon peel and ground sumac, the tart, deep red berry used across Middle Eastern cooking, plus cracked pink peppercorn, garlic and onion for a clean, citrusy bite.

A touch of citric acid sharpens the tang without adding moisture, so the blend keeps its crunch and seasons, brightens and adds heat in one sprinkle.

The salt is coarse and flaky, flecked with black pepper, ruby sumac, bright pink peppercorn shell and pale lemon peel. It works as a finishing salt as well as a rub, since kosher flakes cling to food.

Technique tip: add it at the end of cooking or right before serving so the lemon and sumac stay bright. For wings, toss them in a little butter or oil first so the blend sticks.

How to use it

Season chicken wings and breasts, fish, shrimp, roasted potatoes and asparagus, rice, pasta and salads, and sprinkle over avocado toast, fried eggs and grilled halloumi.
