Tamarind Sauce

"Beloved the world over for its unique mix of sweet and sour, the tamarind is a powerhouse of flavor. It’s an essential ingredient in a wide range of global cuisines, including those of India, the Philippines, and Mexico, and can be employed in a truly impressive array of dishes, including curries, candies, stir-fries, soups, cocktails, and barbecue glazes. As tribute to this treasure of tropical climes, we now offer Trader Joe’s Tamarind Sauce, a condiment that’s as uncommonly versatile as the fruit that inspired it. On its own, our rich, tangy Tamarind Sauce makes a great dip for savory appetizers like our Vegetable Samosas or Kaula Pork Spring Rolls, and can even be served over simple dishes like steamed rice or veggie noodles to take them to a whole new level. But that’s hardly where we’d stop: it also adds a uniquely tart twist when mixed into a homemade curry, brushed over a salmon fillet, or blended into a quick vinaigrette. Try it on a plate of crispy chicken wings or grilled chicken thighs for something truly special."
