Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely diced onion
4 garlic cloves, finely diced
6 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons English mustard
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons treacle (may substitute molasses)
2 tablespoons tamarind paste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Place the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Return to the saucepan and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until thickened to your liking.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tamarinds: Look for tamarinds with a deep, rich brown color and a slightly wrinkled skin. Avoid tamarinds that are too hard or have a greenish tint.
  • Soak tamarinds in hot water: Soaking tamarinds in hot water helps to soften the pulp and make it easier to extract. Soak the tamarinds for at least 30 minutes, or until the pulp is soft and pliable.
  • Use a food processor to extract the pulp: A food processor is the easiest way to extract the pulp from tamarinds. Simply place the soaked tamarinds in the food processor and pulse until the pulp is smooth and creamy.
  • Strain the pulp: Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the tamarind pulp. This will remove any seeds, fibers, or other solids from the pulp.
  • Add other ingredients to taste: Once you have extracted the tamarind pulp, you can add other ingredients to taste. Common additions include sugar, salt, garlic, ginger, chili peppers, and spices.

Conclusion:

Tamarind barbecue sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of grilled meats, vegetables, and fish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With its sweet, tangy, and smoky flavor, tamarind barbecue sauce is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue.
