These endive boats with a plant-based filling are easy to serve and to make in advance. A silky-smooth hummus, flavored with lemon, sumac, and cinnamon, gets an extra dose of deliciousness and texture with the addition of crunchy radish, juicy pomegranate, and whole chickpeas. Stuffed into fresh endive leaves—you can call it hummus and then some.
What is sumac?
Sumac is a dried powdered spice made from crushed sumac berries. It’s popular in middle eastern cuisine. It lends a bright, tart, citrus-like flavor. As it becomes more popular, it’s becoming increasingly available in grocery stores but if you can’t find it in your regular shop, look to a Middle Eastern or specialty spice store.
