Citric acid is often known as a preservative in jams and cordials, but it’s also a brilliant way to sharpen flavours in savoury cooking. Here, it teams up with Greenfields Sumac (Somaq), Citric Acid, and Aleppo Chilli to give chicken a juicy, lip-smacking tang that balances beautifully with a sweet pomegranate drizzle. It’s the sort of dish you’d bring out for a sunny weekend lunch – unusual, original, and bursting with flavour.
