NOTES : Tamarind is a tropical seedpod with pulp that tastes like a cross
between prunes & lime juice. You've probably tasted it even if you don't

realize it: Tamarind is the key flavoring in Worcestershire sauce &

Pickapeppa sauce. Fresh tamarind can be found at specialty produce &
Hispanic

markets. Both Hispanic & Asian markets sell gummy balls of peeled tamarind

pulp, which can be turned into puree. Chipotle chiles are smoked jalapenos.
