Arnavut Cigeri (Turkish Liver and Onions)

This is absolutely delicious.

It's used in the onion and parsley salad.

We chopped a Sumacv tree/bush/shrub down in a friends garden, forever more there were new shootlets growing up all over the lawn! :ohmy:

Cheers,  Tony.

Yep, that's the one. We have one and I'm forever getting rid of the suckers!
I've never harvested any of the berries. Too much agro to dry. They can be used in drinks.
Check before you harvest though, some are poisonous!
