Why It’s On Our Shelves
Sweet, tangy and beautifully balanced, Ottolenghi Sticky Date & Tamarind Sauce is a wonderfully versatile condiment that brings together the rich caramel sweetness of dates with the bright, fruity sharpness of tamarind.
Inspired by the bold, vibrant flavours synonymous with Ottolenghi's cooking, this luxurious sauce delivers layers of sweet, sour and savoury notes in every spoonful. The natural sweetness of dates is perfectly offset by the distinctive tang of tamarind, creating a sauce that enhances everything from grilled meats to roasted vegetables.
Use it as a glaze for chicken or lamb, drizzle it over roasted cauliflower or aubergine, stir it through grain salads, or serve alongside a cheeseboard as an alternative to traditional chutneys. It also makes a fantastic dipping sauce or finishing drizzle for wraps, burgers and sandwiches.
Whether you're recreating an Ottolenghi-inspired feast or simply looking to elevate everyday meals, this is one of those store cupboard essentials that quickly becomes indispensable.
