Tamarind Sauce. Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a sauce pan add the water and add the Tamarind pieces, Habenero pepper and Garlic. Cover and bring the water to a brisk boil and add salt and pepper.
  • Cover reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook stirring occasionally and add the sugar.
  • Simmer until the Tamarind breaks down and the seeds are coming out. The outer pods will thicken the water as it cooks down. I help it along by pressing it up against the side of the pot with a slotted spoon.
  • Try to remove the seeds as you go along and dis guard them.
  • When the sauce thickens to tomato soup or a bisque consistency add the lime juice + the vinegar and cilantro. Simmer about another minute or two and remove the pot from the flame.
  • Poor the sauce into a fine wire mesh sieve and gently but firmly push as much of everything through the sieve with a spoon as possible. At the end you should have just about a palm full of almost dry residual left. Scrape the bottom of the sieve of into the bowl. Dis guard the leftover residual in the sieve.
  • If the sauce is thin return it to the heat on a low flame to reach the desired consistency!
