Onions in Turkish Restaurants?!
Whenever I go to a Turksih restaurant they always serve rice, lettuce and seasoned sliced raw onions on the side of my kebabs!. I could never figure out what they put on the onions that made them so good!. They seemed to have both a red and green element to the spices!.
Any help would be appreciated it's driving me nuts!Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are salted and then rinsed, pickled in vinegar, and they use parsley and a sourish berrie called sumac, and they use them for kabobs, shawarma, falafel and roasted lamb platters, sometimes even gyros!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The onions are seasoned with salt, red pepper, sumac, parsley and lemon juice!. Sometimes mint is also added to the mix!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
