This tamarind peanut sauce is excellent. Tamarind has a tangy yet tart or sour taste with a touch of sweetness. The added sugar/ginger and peanut butter in this recipe balances the sauce perfectly.
I created this sauce recipe yesterday. Our dinner included brown rice with a mix of grains (green lentils, buckwheat, millet, quinoa, flax and chia seeds). On top of the rice were sautéed shiitake mushrooms, a piece of fried tofu – drizzled with the tamarind peanut sauce and topped with crispy shallots. Served with a side of sautéed spinach. The overall dish was extremely flavorful. Enjoy!
