A delightful sauce that pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted meats, offering a balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors.
Toast the cayenne in a dry saucepan over medium heat until aromatic.
Toasting spices enhances their flavor and aroma.
Add the garlic, ginger, and green onions to the saucepan and sauté until fragrant.
Chop the aromatics finely to ensure even cooking.
Pour in the pomegranate juice, tamarind paste, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
Adjust the sweetness and saltiness to your taste.
Simmer the mixture over medium heat until it reduces by half, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the sauce to prevent burning.
Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of cold water in a bowl, then stir it into the sauce to thicken.
Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in water to avoid lumps.
Strain the sauce through a strainer to remove solids, if desired.
Straining creates a smooth and velvety texture.
Serve the glaze warm over your choice of grilled or roasted meats.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
