Date Chutney

 

8 ozs. pitted medjool dates

1/4 tsp. red chili powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. cumin powder

3 cups water

1/2 tsp. tamarind paste

 

This recipe calls for tamarind paste, a sweet-and-sour flavoring made from

the beanlike tamarind fruit. If you can't find tamarind paste, add 1/2 cup honey

and 1/2 cup vinegar to dates during cooking.

 

Place dates in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Cook until soft and

tender, about 25 minutes. Or cook dates for 15 minutes in a pressure

cooker. Set cooked dates aside to cool.

 

Puree dates in small batches in a food processor or blender, adding a

little water as needed to make a smooth paste.

 

Melt tamarind and spices to pureed dates. Stir well. Add more water as

needed to make a thick sauce.
