PERI PERI PULLED JACKFRUIT [VEGAN]

INGREDIENTS

• 10 ounces canned jackfruit (drained)

FOR THE SAUCE:

• 1 red onion – chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 2 fresh chillies – stems removed (add or remove from this depending how spicy you like it)
• 2 ripe tomatoes (remove skins then chop)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 bay leaf

PREPARATION

1. Blend all the peri peri sauce ingredients until a paste forms, then set it to one side.
2. ‘Pull’ the jackfruit apart with either your clean hands or a fork.
3. Heat a little extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan, then add in the jackfruit and fry on a medium heat for about 4 minutes (make sure you keep stirring throughout this recipe).
4. Then, add your desired amount of peri peri sauce, then fry for a further 10-15 minutes (or cook a little longer so it will crisp up).
5. Serve and enjoy!

NOTES

The sauce recipe will make more than 2 servings, while the jackfruit will make 2 – but you can store in the fridge for another time. For future use: be sure to cook it for about 10 minutes with whatever you want on a medium high heat.
