Vegetaristan has recently discovered tamarind! Actually, I've tasted tamarind sauces before in Thai and Indian cooking, but never really knew how to use tamarind myself. So on a trip to the US in October I made a point of buying a block of tamarind to take back to Kazakhstan. I found an easy tamarind sauce recipe (link is below) and from there started experimenting. Here's the first recipe - try it and we hope you like it! 


Ingredients:


1 small block tofu
1 green or red pepper
1 carrot
6 tablespoons tamarind sauce 
(http://www.recipe.iskcondesiretree.info/13_-_Chutneys/Tamarind_Chutney.pdf)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Pinch of salt to taste 

Method:

Cut the tofu into small blocks, chop the carrot and green pepper. In a frying pan, heat the oil and sauté the tofu for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until tofu starts to turn brown. Add the pepper and carrot, saute another 5-7 minutes. Optionally, add a pinch of salt here. Add the tamarind sauce gradually, letting it boil down and absorb into the tofu and vegetables. Optionally, add cilantro leaves for garnish. Serve with rice and tomato slices.
