- 1 tamarind
- 1 can white beans
- 30ml white wine vinegar
- 50ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar

Directions:

Variation: If you're loving the Aussie theme of this dish, why not take it even further? Apple berries, warrigal greens, and pepperberry (as a seasoning) are some other complementary bushfoods you could throw into the mix :)
