A vibrant and flavorful Turkish-inspired dip, perfect for pairing with bread or as a condiment.
Peel and finely chop the red onion.
Chopping the onion finely ensures it blends well with the other ingredients.
In a pestle and mortar, crush the chopped onion with the sumac and salt until softened.
Crushing the onion releases its juices and enhances the flavor.
Dice the tomatoes and chop the parsley.
Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed onion, diced tomatoes, chopped parsley, olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and lemon juice.
Mixing thoroughly ensures all flavors are well combined.
Let the mixture rest for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Resting the dip enhances its flavor profile.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with your choice of bread or chips.
Garnish with a sprig of parsley for a fresh look.
