“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Date Chutney

 

Ingredients

8 oz pitted medjool dates
1/4 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin powder
3 cup water
1/2 tsp tamarind paste



 

Preparation

This recipe calls for tamarind paste, a sweet-and-sour flavoring made
from the beanlike tamarind fruit. If you can't find tamarind paste,
add 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup vinegar to dates during cooking.

Place dates in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Cook until
soft and tender, about 25 minutes. Or cook dates for 15 minutes in a
pressure cooker. Set cooked dates aside to cool.

Puree dates in small batches in a food processor or blender, adding a
little water as needed to make a smooth paste.

Melt tamarind and spices to pureed dates. Stir well. Add more water
as needed to make a thick sauce.
