How to Make Tamarind Cashew Dipping Sauce
- Combine 1 cup raw cashews, 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 green onions (chopped), 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or coconut) over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, and 2 tablespoons tamarind pulp.
- Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the honey is melted and the tamarind pulp is fully dissolved and smooth.
- Pour the warm tamarind mixture into the blender with the cashew mixture. Process until completely smooth and well combined.
- Pour the sauce into a serving bowl. Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with your favorite lettuce wraps.
