thank you so much for commenting and for your version of the recipe. I am so happy to meet someone who makes Kurdish sour rice using sumac, the traditional way.

Hello,
I must say that it was very nice to discover this site. I’m a Kurd and I would like to share my version of this sour rice. I use a bit of cabbage or iceberg salad which I fry up with some onion. I use smac, personally I don’t think the taste can be compared to lemon juice so if you can find it get it. Once the veggies are soft I add the water which has been soured by the smac, make sure you don’t get any of the smac seeds in the food. Boil it up, add the salt and the rice. It really is a matter of taste, use as much smac as you like, depending on how sour you like your food, the same goes for the salt and the veggies. I like this rice a bit mushy and I enjoy it with a piece of bread and sliced onion.
Enjoy!!

What an interesting sounding dish, and I look forward to trying to. I second Miriam’s comment that you do not see a lot of Kurdish food and I am interested in learning more.

So interesting, you don’t hear much about Kurdish food anywhere, nor about Kurds in general…
