A jumble of zucchini, sweet peppers, and red onion are transformed into a warm salad with tangy feta, plenty of fresh herbs, and a dusting of lemony sumac. Sumac is a popular spice in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, adding both floral and citrus notes to foods. The sumac berries are dried and ground into a beautiful dark red powder, which is especially pretty when used to finish an already colorful dish like this one.

Our perforated Grill Frying Pan makes grilling vegetables easy, no matter what size and shape they are. The combination of contact with fire and Carbon Steel will help you achieve that coveted char without thoroughly burning your vegetables.
