Typically eaten for breakfast, this creamy, crunchy dish also pairs well with savory dishes come dinnertime. We took a shortcut by using canned chickpeas, which pick up some flavor from a quick simmer with garlic.

Ingredient Info

Sumac, a tart, citrusy spice generally sold in ground form, can be found at Middle Eastern markets, specialty food stores, and online.
