Quinoa Curry Chowder is a perfect one-pot complete meal that you will love making over and over again. I added spices like turmeric and sumac to this chowder. If you think quinoa is boring, try this!
One fine evening my husband brought home ground sumac. I’ve never heard of it before then. I opened it up and have a quick taste and it tasted sour. I asked hubby why he got it and he said because it’s unique (I guess that’s why we are husband and wife!). I started googling and read about what to do with it. Apparently, this spice is pretty commonly used in Meditteranean food. It can pretty much be used in everything from soup, meat, seafood, some even sprinkle it on popcorns.
I was a bit hesitant about using it in this quinoa curry chowder to be honest, but I thought, what did I have to lose right? if I really screwed it up, well then, I just wouldn’t use it anymore!
Wow! This looks so comforting! Never heard of sumac before. I wonder what kind of flavour it has. Curious.
Hi Wei, it is actually sour 🙂 But not too sour!!
hands will be yellow-orange “forever!”) How come I’ve never seen any recipe calling for it’s use?
Thank you so much for your kind words Chris 🙂 So glad you stopped by and for leaving me comments! Made my day!
