Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 ounces tamarind pulp
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons cold water
1 piece (1 inch) fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce (sambal oelek)
2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
1 teaspoon good-quality soy sauce, such as Kikkoman
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the tamarind and 2 cups of the water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand until the tamarind has softened, about 15 minutes. Help it along by breaking up the pulp with a spoon.
  • 2. Strain the tamarind through a sieve, pressing on the pulp to extract as much water as possible. Discard the pump and seeds and return the water to the pan. Add the ginger, garlic, 3 tablespoons sugar, the chili-garlic sauce, fish sauce, and soy sauce and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • 3. Whisk the cornstarch with the remaining 2 tablespoons water. When smooth, whisk the mixture into the tamarind sauce, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more sugar if necessary to balance the tartness of the tamarind. Store tamarind sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

SMOKED JERK CHICKEN WINGS WITH HONEY-TAMARIND DIPPING SAUCE



Smoked Jerk Chicken Wings with Honey-Tamarind Dipping Sauce image

This fragrant and spicy jerk marinade gives an instant shot of Jamaican flavor to these smoky wings. Pimento wood, which comes from the allspice tree, provides the unique smoke flavor of Jamaican jerk chicken. Hard to find in the US, the unique flavor of the wood really has no exact substitute but apple and pecan wood are often suggested as an acceptable substitute. Stay away from stronger woods such as hickory or mesquite as those woods will overpower the flavor of the jerk marinade. The tart tamarind melts into mellow honey smooth dipping sauce making these an instant tailgating classic.
