SOUR FISH SOUP WITH TAMARIND RECIPE
Walk into almost any taqueria and you can get agua de tamarindo, a refreshingly tangy Mexican drink made from tamarind fruit. But tamarind is not just Mexican, and tamarindo is not just a drink.Wonderfully zingy, tart and piquant, with an intriguing herbal-floral note, the fruit's flavor shows up in a wide-reaching array of cuisines -- Southeast Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Eastern and Northern African, and Caribbean. You find it in a sauce spooned over deep-fried fish in Thailand, or with spicy eggplant in India, or in a sour soup in Vietnam. A tamarind-laced, sweet-sour broth might punctuate a rich, meaty Iraqi stew. And yes, you also find it in zippy drinks from Egypt to Jamaica and throughout Latin America.Claudia Roden makes stunning use of it in her recipe for ingriyi, an Iraqi lamb, eggplant and tomato stew from her cookbook "The Book of Jewish Food." The meat and vegetables are cooked separately and drizzled with a sauce of tamarind and meat broth before baking. Each bite is a collage of tender lamb, silky eggplant and jammy tomato, brightened by deliciously tamarind-fruity juices.Poopa Dweck includes no fewer than nine recipes involving tamarind in her book "Aromas of Aleppo: The Legendary Cuisine of Syrian Jews." Aleppian Jews, she writes, flavor many dishes with tamarind, "a subtler souring agent than lemon, tangier than pomegranate syrup," with a "deeper flavor than tomato." It shows up in meatball dishes, mincemeat pies and bulgur salad.Popular across Southeast Asia are tamarind-spiked "sour soups." In "Into the Vietnamese Kitchen," Andrea Nguyen offers one that gains substance from lightly poached catfish; okra lends body, and barely cooked bean sprouts add crunch.You might think the best way to tamarind flavor is to use the pods themselves. Not so. Long, brittle pods of mature tamarind encase a dark, sticky, fruit that's veined with thick fibers and studded with seeds. You can buy the pods in Mexican markets, but shelling them and removing the fibers and seeds is messy and difficult. Then there's young tamarind -- which might sound delicate and tender, but its pale green flesh is lip-puckeringly acidic. It's used in some Thai dishes, but it's not as common an ingredient as the ripe fruit.The most convenient and effective way to cook with tamarind is to make what's known as "tamarind liquid." (In their books, Dweck and Nguyen include sections on how to make it.) You make the liquid using tamarind paste or pulp, which is the most widely available form of tamarind, sold at Asian and Indian markets. It comes in the form of a brick of seedless pulp, often labeled simply "tamarind." Wrapped in cellophane, the blocks keep indefinitely without refrigeration. Simmer the pulp in water, then let it sit for a while before passing it through a sieve to eliminate all the fiber. Freeze it in ice-cube trays for future use, or use it right away.Pre-processed tamarind pulp is a bit easier to manage, but it's a challenge to find. One reliable Thai product is labeled "Pure Fresh Tamarind (Concentrate)," and despite its name can be used straight out of the jar without dilution. It's comparable to the soaked and sieved pulp. But beware a dark, viscous fluid labeled "Tamarind concentrate" found in Indian stores. It tastes flat and metallic, with none of the fruity aroma of the other types of tamarind.A tart touchOnce you have a stash of tamarind liquid, you may find yourself adding it to anything that needs a tart touch. It makes a great salad dressing with nut or olive oil and can sub for lemon juice or vinegar in a marinade. I've even tried it in lemon bars (instead of lemon juice), with much success.Ethiopian-born chef Marcus Samuelsson knows exactly how to work the flavor. In his African-inspired "The Soul of a New Cuisine," he uses it to heighten a mustardy sauce for salmon kebabs. The tamarind zips through the rich, charred salmon to wonderful effect.Who knew that your agua de tamarindo would be the beginning of a trip around the world?

Another recipe from the In-Laws. This is a wonderful soup that is a common meal for my mother-in-law to make. It is so delicious I just had to have the recipe! My mother-in-law used catfish fillets, skin and all, I prefer to use the pre-diced chunks. Galangal is also known as Siamese Ginger. It can be found fresh, frozen, or dried at asian markets.

Steps:
- Prep the ingredients: Devein the shrimp by inserting a toothpick underneath the vein and between the shells. Pull up to remove. Give the shrimp a quick rinse, if needed. Peel and finely dice the garlic cloves. Cut the pineapples into small bite-size chunks. If using large okra, halve at a diagonal. Otherwise, leave okra whole. Quarter the tomatoes. Set everything aside.
- In a medium-size pot, heat oil on medium-high. Add garlic and fry until golden brown. Set aside half of the fried garlic for garnish. Add chicken stock to the pot with the remaining garlic and bring the pot to a boil.
- Add tamarind pulp to a mesh strainer and lower it into the stockpot. Use the back of a spoon to help push the pulp through the strainer. Discard remains.
- Season stock with salt, fish sauce, and sugar to taste.
- Add shrimp. When shrimp start to turn color, add okra and pineapple. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Lastly, add tomatoes and immediately turn off the heat.
- Garnish soup with fried garlic from earlier, Thai chili peppers, and either rice paddy herbs, Thai basil, culantro, or cilantro. Serve with steamed rice and one of the following traditional Vietnamese protein dishes for a complete meal.

SOUR FISH SOUP WITH TAMARIND, PINEAPPLE, AND OKRA
Rich with contrasts, this soup is easy to like. The tamarind and pineapple provide a sweet-and-sour edge, while the okra, tomato, and bean sprouts offer spongy, soft, and crunchy textures. The catfish and cumin ground the dish with their pungent, earthy qualities. If rice paddy herb (rau om) is available, use it for a citrusy accent. Sour fish soups are eaten throughout Southeast Asia. The Viet version often includes sliced taro stems (bac ha), a flavorless ingredient known for its ability to absorb other flavors. I generally omit the stems because they don't contribute much to the soup, and instead increase the amount of okra, which is added at the end. If you can't find fresh okra, use frozen whole okra, thawing it and slicing it before you add it to the pan. When fresh or frozen pineapple isn't around, don't resort to canned. It is not the same. The soup will be a bit tangier but equally sensational without the pineapple.

Ladle into a serving bowl, garnish with the cilantro, and serve immediately.

- Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of the water to a boil in a small pot. Add the tamarind paste and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir well to dissolve the tamarind. Set aside while you chop the fruits and vegetables.
- Heat a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the oil and garlic. Fry, stirring constantly, until the garlic is golden brown. Be very careful not to burn it. Remove the garlic to a small plate with a slotted spoon, keeping the oil in the pot. Add the shallots to the pot and fry until soft. Finally, add the one diced tomato and fry for a couple of minutes, breaking it up with your spoon to form a paste.
- Add the remaining 4 cups of water to the pot. Pour the reserved tamarind liquid into the pot through a sieve. Use a spoon to press as much tamarind pulp through the sieve into the soup as possible, discarding the seeds and fibre. Add the soy sauce, sugar and salt to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the pineapple, okra and celery and simmer over medium heat for 2 – 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and add the tomato wedges, bean sprouts and tofu.
- Taste the soup and adjust the balance of salt and sugar, if necessary. Serve the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved fried garlic slices, sliced chili pepper and fresh cilantro.
