Jackfruit is a tropical Asian fruit that when picked while unripe or ‘green’ can be used as a meat substitute. The texture is similar to pork, or chicken and it does not have a strong flavor, lending to it to a wide range of dishes. I have used it here to make an Indian style coconut curry. If you don’t have all of these spices at home you can substitute it for curry powder for a similar tasting curry.
Jackfruit Curry
Cooking Time: 50mins
Number of Serves: 4
Instructions:
Ingredients:
2 tins of Young Green Jackfruit (JACK)
1 sliced brown onion
2 cloves of chopped fresh garlic
1 teaspoon of crushed ginger (GINGC)
3 tablespoons of canola oil (CANOIL20)
½ teaspoon of turmeric (TUMG500)
1 pinch of chili flakes (CHILFSC)
1 teaspoon of black mustard seeds (MUSTSB500)
½ teaspoon of fenugreek seeds (FEN500)
1 teaspoon of ground cumin (CUMG500)
½ teaspoon of ground coriander (CORIGR)
½ teaspoon of ground black pepper (PEPBLG)
½ cup of coconut thread (COCONUTLT1)
1 500mL tetra pack of Kara coconut milk (COCMC)
1 teaspoon of salt (SALTGP27)
To serve
Fresh lime
Coriander
Basmati Rice (RICAB5)
Step by Step:
In a large pan sauté the onion, garlic and ginger in oil for 10 minutes over a low heat until golden brown.
Prepare the jackfruit by draining, removing the core and shredding a little. You can do this with your hands – it shreds quite easily. It should look similar to what is pictured above once you are done. Once shredded give the jackfruit a thorough rinse and drain well.
Add all spices and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until fragrant.
Add the prepared jackfruit, salt, coconut milk and threaded coconut.
Mix well and cook for 30 minutes over a low heat.
Garnish with lime and plenty of freshly chopped coriander and enjoy with some basmati rice.
