  1. Slice TAMARIND from the block and chop it up. If using concentrate, use 2 T.
  2. Slice GINGER ROOT very thin.
  3. In a small saucepan, mix All Items. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes or so. You want to end up with about 2/3 cup.
  4. Strain and bottle. It'll keep in the fridge for a month of so.
NOTES:

  1. Duros:

      This pasta-like product can be found in markets serving a significant Mexican community - or ordered on-line. I usually use the wheels for this recipe, squares for puffing. For details see our Duros page.
  2. Vegeta:   This is a widely available vegetable seasoning. For details see our Vegeta page. Recommended, but you can skip it if you just want the meatiness.
  3. Comments:   As of this writing (7-2026), you will not find this broth anywhere but on this site. Back in the days before Google I bought some Duros, but had no idea what to use them for. I tried cooking them as pasta, and found them a bit odd - but what really surprised me was the flavor of the cooking water, thus this recipe.
  4. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
