Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Thai tamarind concentrate -- strained to remove grit
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice -- plus more if needed
2 tablespoons sumac
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1 piece fresh ginger -- one-inch, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pound Medjool dates -- pitted

In a large bowl, whisk the tamarind with the lime juice, sumac, kosher
salt, garlic, ginger, and cinnamon. Add the dates and toss well.
Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar and add more lime juice as
needed to cover any exposed dates. Seal and store in the refrigerator.
Shake every few days to break up the crystallization. The dates will be
ready to eat in 6 weeks and will last for about 6 months in the
refrigerator.

Makes about 3 cups

This sublime condiment brings together tamarind, lime, ginger, cinnamon,
and sugary dates. Once pickled in the tamarind, the dates crystallize and
dissolve into a soft paste similar to a chutney. After 6 weeks, the
pronounced salty flavor of the sumac will mellow, and you can enjoy this
fragrant pickle on everything from burgers to fish to cheese. For an easy
hors d'oeuvre, spread it on a cracker and top it with lime powder—seasoned
grilled shrimp and a fresh green herb. The chutney will separate slightly
over time, so stir it from the bottom before serving to bring out all its
tart lime goodness.
