The tamarind flavor intrigues me a lot, I like the sour flavor and I think my friends would love to try this dish. I never tried using tamarind flavor so I’m somewhat excited about how it will end up tasting. I guess I’m gonna use variety of veggies on this but the broccoli looks great. I think carrots and some bell pepper would be great. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe.

Random Q: I have been looking for a hearty beef-like stew and I am so new to the vegan movement :) Could I use this recipe for your cubes in a stew? Has anyone tried it? Would it work? I guess I should just try it! Love your recipes BTW!!!

… that’s a “1-inch” block of pulp.

I cook a lot of SE Asian and indian foods. I used to use the concentrate, preferring the convenience over tamarind pulp (which comes in a block and has to be processed with hot water). But once I tried the pulp and discovered what an entirely different flavor it has–I never went back to the concentrate. The concentrate has a dark, bitter, molasses-y taste, while freshly-made “thick tamarind juice” has a tart, fruity flavor. All you do is take a 1″ block of the pulp and pour over 1 cup of boiling water. Let it sit for 15 minutes or so, until cool enough to immerse your hand, and then squeeze and massage the pulp until it’s as dissolved as possible. Let sit another 15 minutes to thicken and then strain out the seeds.

This was awesome! I couldn’t find any agave nectar, however in Canada we have lots of maple syrup so I used that instead. I loved being able to have ready-to-eat seitan in 10 mins. All of the other recipes I have used get you to make this big seitan log and cook it for an hour. The other thing I really liked about your recipe is that the seitan chunks were very tasty. Again comparing to other recipes the broth has been more flavourful than the seitan. Great job!

Who would ever think that it was seitan? Looks great!

I can’t wait to try the sauce suggestions. I am weak in that department.

Great Post!

We tried this tonight with purchased seitan. Since I over-steamed the broccoli, we just grilled the protein and served with chopped broccoli over kamut soba.

The glaze was excellent as a glaze on both seitan (for me) and chicken (for my husband). It was a bit too sweet as a pasta sauce, so we added chili garlic sauce and a bit of toasted sesame oil for balance. All in all it was a great meal.

I have been going crazy looking for tamarind concentrate everywhere with no luck (besides online)…

I have found tamarind pods but don’t know if I’m up to the task of making my own concentrate.
