Cured Sumac and Black Garlic make this Quinoa Pilaf sing.
Traditionally used in Korean cuisine, umami-rich black garlic livens up the dish and makes a complex alternative to garlic powder. The special sumac is sourced from Turkey, packed in salt, and cured with notes of sour cherry, salt, and vinegar.
