Okay so it looks a lot like the picture I just posted. It is the same Thai soy chicken recipe. I guess we were inspired. The flavor is so great with base of peanut butter (you know the type that starts with peanuts in the top and comes out the bottom.. no added junk) with the great Thai spices including tamarind .. more on that below.
I added some baked sweet potatoes rounds. Also I cooked some wonderful collards. They are bit of work to clean and cut. You must wash each leaf, then cut the thick stalk out and cut into strips. Then put into a pot with some veggie broth and cook until tender and are darker. It takes about 15 minutes.
Back to the pizza, one of the interesting ingredients in the sauce is the tamarind. It is also called the Indian date. Unlike the middle eastern date, the tamarind is a bit like fruit flavor ala mango or papaya and slightly piquant rather than so sweet as the standard date. It is in the major ingredient in the Pad Thai sauce and other Thai dishes. I plan to experiment more with this flavor after finally tasting it for itself. It has real possibilities.
