Fishless White Bean and Jackfruit Fishsticks [Vegan]

Ingredients

• 2 nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (more for pan frying)
• 1 medium red onion, chopped
• 1 can (9.9-ounce) jack fruit, drained
• 1/2 cup cooked white beans
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• A pinch of turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs

Preparation

1. Toast the nori sheets one by one in a pan until they get crisp and easy to crumble.
2. In a food processor, crumble the nori sheets into small flakes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
3. Pulse the jackfruit in the food processor a few times, leaving a chunky texture. Add to the bowl.
4. In a sauteing pan over medium high heat, cook the onions for 5 minutes.
5. Transfer the onions to the bowl together with the rest of the ingredients except the bread crumbs. Grind into a mushy mixture and transfer into the bowl, combining well with the jackfruit and the nori flake.
6. Pour the bread crumbs into a small bowl. Take walnut-sized amounts of the mixture and shape into fish fingers. Cover with bread crumbs.
7. Coat a frying pan with coconut oil and heat over medium-high. Cook the fish fingers on both sides until they develop a golden-brown crust.
