Googie’s Kitchen presents Spicy Sumac Guacamole

During the colder months on a Saturday lunch time I like nothing more than cooking myself chips and making a yummy dip. Normally I make sweet potato chips and a hummus. The other day I fancied a change. In recent months I have been experimenting with a spice called ‘Sumac’.

Sumac grows in subtropical temperatures. It can be found in East Asia and Africa. This spice has a light, tart and astringent flavour. It can be used in lots of soups, stews and curries. I felt it would help to add extra flavour to this dip. So when it was combined with other spices in the guacamole it worked well. One I will definitely be making again soon. Below is the video on how to make this delicious dip and recipe for you.

Spicy Sumac Guacamole Dip was so yummy and I will be making it again. In the past I have made guacamole but I have never tried it with sumac. So this was a new experience for me and it made a delicious change too. One I would recommend to everyone, especially if they love guacamole. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy.
