Ingredients:


Whole habanero – 1 whole

Chadon beni/Culantro – 3 tbsp (finely chopped)

Pimento peppers – 3 tbsp (finely chopped)

Garlic peeled – 3 tbsp (finely chopped)

Black pepper - 1 tbsp

Cinnamon – 1 stick

Bay leaf – 1 each

Onion – 2 tbsp (finely chopped)

Tamarind pulp – 4 cups (shelled tamarind seed in)


Method:


Cooking of Tamarind:

Place medium-sized sauce pot on heat.

Add shelled tamarind and add water just enough to cover the tamarind.

Stir and allow to cook for 5min or bring to a boil.

When tamarind starts to boil, add more water if needed and whisk.

Whisk until most of the tamarind pulp has been removed.

Remove from heat and strain.


Making of sauce:

Add strained tamarind liquid and all other ingredients salt and pepper to taste to medium size
