Sumac Garlic Mayonnaise Recipes

Steps:

• Combine egg, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl; whisk with a fork until well combined. Using a hand immersion blender, slowly add olive oil in a small stream and blend until creamy.

Steps:

• Put the egg yolks in a mixing bowl and lightly whisk, then add the oil, a short drizzle at a time while continuing to whisk. This technique is important because the oil and egg will otherwise not emulsify. Mix in the garlic, mustard and vinegar, if using, and ¼ tsp salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Will keep chilled in a jar for up to three days.

Steps:

• Make the sumac onions: Combine all ingredients and toss until the onion pieces are separated and well coated. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups. Sumac onions should be used the day they are made.)
• Make the garlic-dill mayonnaise: Put 18 garlic cloves in a medium pot, and cover with a couple inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Continue cooking for 30 seconds. Drain garlic and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, mince the remaining 2 garlic cloves. In a food processor, combine blanched and raw garlic, mayonnaise and lemon juice; process until completely smooth. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Transfer mixture to a bowl, stir in minced dill, and season to taste with salt and pepper. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups.)
• Make the kebabs: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and fold with very clean hands until fully incorporated. Divide mixture in half, then divide each half into 6 equal balls. Working on a clean cutting board, roll them into cylinders about 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut each cylinder in half to form 24 small logs.
• Cook and serve: In a large skillet over medium-high, heat oil until shimmering. Add the logs, working in batches if necessary to prevent crowding. Cook on one side until well browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on second side until well browned and cooked through, another 1 1/2 minutes. (Alternatively, cook on a hot grill until lightly charred and cooked through.) Transfer to a serving plate.
• Serve with sumac onions, garlic-dill mayonnaise, cherry tomatoes, arugula, hot sauce and Turkish bread or pita.
