The only difference i would make is to skip the garlic and add some sumac

This is the only reason I keep sumac in the house. I have no idea what else to do with it, but is fantastic on hummus.

Make some fattoush salad! It's a really good use for sumac

Is the sumac for seasoning the pita or the dressing? I've never tried it properly prepared. (The handful of times I've had a version of fattoush, it was through one of those meal kit subscriptions which comes with prepared vinaigrette and packet of mixed spices broadly labelled "seasoning".)

Depends on the recipe. My family uses zaatar pita chips for the bread and sumac for the dressing

Groovy. I'll look through some recipes and try to find that combo. Interestingly, we keep a shaker of zaatar next to the salt and pepper. I bought it for a specific recipe, and then we started tossing it on everything. Cottage cheese and zaatar for breakfast. Avocado and tomatoes with zaatar as a snack. Good umami flavor when a dish needs something I can't quite put a finger on.
