I am asked every often if my restaurant is able to prepare dishes for customers who are on special diets, such as gluten-free, wheat-free, low sodium, etc.
Tamarind Thai has been serving wheat-free dishes since we opened our doors six years ago. In the past few years, the demand from customers with gluten intolerance has risen, so I did research into gluten-free products and to my surprise, many dishes currently in our menu are already gluten-free.
Those with special diets should not have to give up the pleasure of eating out with friends and family.
I believe that every customer who walks in our doors deserves the best that we can offer. Just ask and we will do our best to accommodate your dietary restrictions.
And speaking of gluten-free, check out the Chicken Satay and Peanut Sauce recipe.
 Chicken Satay and Peanut Sauce Satay is a very popular dish in Thailand and can be made with chicken, the most popular, or many other meats. Go ahead and try some variations. The main ingredient, that gives satay its particular taste, is curry powder and turmeric.

 Shrimp with Chili and Basil. Buka Ceramic Ware by Juliana Bukowitz. Photo by Kemuel Valdes. It’s summer time, and Asian fresh herbs are making their way back into the markets. Among those are Thai basil, or “Krapow,” and fresh chilies. These herbs are locally grown in the Homestead area.
For those who love to cook Thai food, this is the perfect time. The aroma of cooked Thai basil combined with garlic and fresh chilies will make your mouth water. Thai basil by itself imparts a fresh spicy flavor when cooked. If preferred, chilies can be left out for those who favor their dish non-spicy.
“Pad Krapow” is the number two best selling dish at our restaurant (second to Pad Thai, of course). The recipe can be made with your choice of meat or seafood. We hope you enjoy it!

 Tamarind Thai Burger: Kick-start the Summer Grilling Season This recipe has been in my family since I was young. It originally started as beef patties served with rice for dinner, I used to take the leftovers for my school lunch. I made some modifications to the dish, turning the beef into a burger served with lettuce and tomatoes. This became a huge hit at school since burgers were mostly an American dish over 30 years ago. Many of my friends had never tasted a burger and soon they were requesting me to make the dish for them. I’m happy to share this recipe with you and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

 Barbecued Lemongrass Chicken If you plan to barbecue for your family gathering this Memorial Day weekend and would like to add a Thai touch to your menu, I have a delicious recipe for you. This month’s recipe is one that I make frequently, whether it is a holiday or not, after all Miami has beautiful weather all year round which is perfect for outdoor cooking parties.
In Thailand, this dish can be found everywhere. Thai eat this with sticky rice and spicy sauce. Recipes vary from regions. I love this recipe of the central Thailand because of its fresh herbs, aroma and delicately blended yet flavorful taste. It is simple to make and the ingredients can be found locally. Many supermarkets such as Publix or Whole Food carry these products.
It is best when served with salad on the side or white rice. This grilled chicken is also good for sandwiches—simply add lettuce, slice tomato and ketchup.
