Tamarind Sauce

Use this sauce to complement enchiladas, fish, chicken, or roasted pork. It turns a plain dish into something special!

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup tamarind paste
• 1 1⁄2 cups beef broth, pre-heated
• 1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
• 3  tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1  tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Directions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the vinegar and brown sugar to a low boil. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and reduce by half to produce a syrup.
2. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the pre-heated beef broth, (I do this in the microwave until it's about 110 degrees F.) Then stir in the tamarind paste, garlic, and the ginger. Allow to reduce just a little and then strain the sauce into a serving bowl.
3. NOTE: Tamarind sauce can be obtained at an ethnic grocer (some sell online).
