Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Total: 35 mins | Quantity: 4 portions
Ingredients
400g can jackfruit in brine
1 tblsp soy sauce
1 tblsp coconut sugar
1 tblsp apple cider vinegar
2 tblsp tomato puree
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp mustard (I use dijon but wholegrain or English will work just as well!)
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp chili flakes
2 red onions – peeled and finely diced
4 cloves garlic – peeled and crushed
drizzle olive oil
1 + 1/2 cups vegetable stock
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Drain the jackfruit, submerge in cold clean water, swill then drain again.
You'll need to remove and discard the hard woody stem - just cut it off or flake the edible flesh away from the stem. This is a great video if you're not sure which bit to cut off!
In a container with a lid put the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, puree, cumin, mustard and chili flakes and powder and whisk together
Add the jackfruit and stir to completely coat. Put the lid on the container and chill for at least an hour (can also be left overnight)
In a medium frying pan or saucepan saute the diced onion and crushed garlic in a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat until softened
Add the marinated jackfruit and sauce to the pan and stir
Add the veg stock and gently bubble, stirring occasionally, for around 20 minutes until the liquid is reduced and the jackfruit is meltingly soft
Check seasoning and serve
Notes
Store any leftovers in the fridge and re-heat thoroughly. It's also just lovely cold stirred into some hummus in wholemeal wraps!
