Ingredients:
4 c (20 oz) watermelon cubes (Save those rinds! My July Patron exclusive recipe is Pickled Watermelon Rinds (the brine can be used to make traditional pickles too- pickled ANYthing, really!)
1 1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c packed minced onion, divided
2T lime juice
1 tsp Tamarind Paste (Also available on Amazon) (Make sure to measure the tamarind, should be 1 level measuring tsp!)
1 large clove minced garlic
1 tsp dry oregano
1/4 c fresh chives or green onions
1/2 c packed fresh cilantro
1 1/2 T 100% wasabi powder
Directions:
Add the watermelon, salt, 1/2 c of minced onion, lime juice and tamarind paste to a small pot. Cook over medium heat (375 degrees F) for 20 minutes until mixture is reduced by half. Mash with a hand-held potato masher to the consistency of salsa.
Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1/4 c onion, garlic, oregano, chives, cilantro and wasabi powder.
Pour the salsa into a mason jar and let cool overnight in fridge.
