Young jackfruit can be cooked and it has an interesting consistency. Here is how to prepare it:
I made a simple stuffing for burritos:
1 small unripte jackfruit 1.5 to 2 lbs.
1 tbsp panch puran
1 red onion, cut up fine
1 white onion cut up fine
3-4 cloves of garlic,
1-2 carrots cut up
1/2 tbsp ground ginger
1 cup of water with 1 tsp Yondu to caramelize the onions.
2 cups of veggie broth
mixed peppers, cut up fine, bell peppers, and some jalapeƱo, serrano, and/or thai chilis
1/2 napa cabbage
1 6 Oz can of tomato puree
Directions:
- heat the panch puran until it begins to pop
- add the peppers and onions, the garlic and the ginder
- add in the water with Yondu, keeping the heat high and slowly and the water until the onions get soft.
- Lower the heat, and add in the cut-up jackfruit and the veggie broth broth.
- Let it simmer until the jackfruit is soft and can be easily pulled apart.
- shred the cabbage let it simmer until just cooked
- add in the tomato paste
An easy meal.
