Tamarind Mango Sangria Recipes

MANGO-TAMARIND CHUTNEY

Steps:

• To make tamarind juice, put the pulp in a bowl and cover with 1 cup boiling water. Stir well and let soak for 10 to 15 minutes. Set a fine-meshed strainer over another bowl, add soaked tamarind and press hard with a wooden spoon to extract the juice. This should yield 1/2 cup tamarind juice. Discard the solids left in the strainer. (If using prepared tamarind juice, skip this step.)
• Add brown sugar and salt and stir to dissolve, then add onion, chile, ginger and diced mango and toss gently to combine. (Chutney may be prepared several hours in advance.) Just before serving, add mint and cilantro, if using.

TAMARIND MANGO SANGRIA

Steps:

• Purée tamarind, water, sugar, and 1 1/2 cups mangoes in a blender until mixture is smooth. Pour through a medium-mesh sieve into a pitcher and stir in wine, tequila, grapes, and remaining cup mangoes. Chill, covered, until ready to serve, up to 24 hours. Serve over ice.

CHICKEN WINGS WITH MANGO-TAMARIND SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the mangoes, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, tamarind paste, oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add just enough sauce to coat the wings (about 1/2 cup, reserve the rest for serving) and toss to coat. Cover the wings with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
• Lift the chicken wings out of the sauce letting the excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Place the wings on the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes until cooked through. Preheat the broiler and adjust the rack so it's 6 inches from the heating element. Transfer the wings to the broiler and broil for another 3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
• While the wings bake, place the reserved sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Put the chicken wings on a platter and garnish with chopped scallion. Serve with the remaining mango-tamarind sauce on the side for dipping.
