Ingredients

  • 3 Large fresh tamarind pods
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 Large lime (zested and juiced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 3/4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons pistachios

Directions

Step 1
Remove shells from tamarind pods, take off as much pulp/meat from the seeds as you can. Do not throw away pods.
Step 2
Place all ingredients EXCEPT cilantro and pistachios (be sure to include the tamarind pulp and left over pods) in a small pot and cook over low-medium heat for 7-8 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 3
Remove from heat.
Step 4
Discard remaining tamarind seeds and place sauce in a mini food processor with the cilantro and pistachios. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. If sauce is still too thick, add a 1-2 tbsp of water to desired consistency.
