I’m always keen to try new foods and recipes, and I was intrigued by jackfruit, which is getting used in many vegetarian meals these days. It’s most often seen as some sort of BBQ pulled dish, which I don’t care for. So I made a curry instead.
Ingredients:
1 tin jackfruit
1 onion (80-100g)
1 red pepper (100g)
100g button mushrooms, quartered
1 tin tomatoes
1 tsp coconut oil
Curry spice – I used garlic paste from a tube, a tsp of chillies from a jar, turmeric, ground coriander, and cos I had them, curry leaves, I also threw in a cinnamon stick and a star anise.
Sweat the finely chopped onion in the coconut oil until translucent.
Add the diced red peppers, and continue to cook on a low heat, covered, for 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and stir everything well together.
Add in the curry spices and stir well.
Add the tinned tomatoes, the jackfruit, and give everything a good stir. Break the jackfruit up as you stir. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer while you prep the rice.
Coconut Lime Cauli-rice
For each serving:
150g cauliflower florets, grated. I use my special cauli Iron Maiden.
Melt a tbsp coconut oil in a frying pan and add the cauli rice, stirring to get it covered in the oil. Let it cook gently for 5-8 minutes, until itstarts to get a bit nutty. Add salt and pepper, and half a lime squeezed. I threw in some chopped parsley from my gardon for colour. Add in some grated coconut (10g)
Serve with a blob of yoghurt (or vegan alternative) and a sprinkle of coriander leaves.
I got 3 “my size” servings from this, 300 cals with the rice, but it would make 2 generous portions.
Note: I like the jars of easy chilli. It’s easy to control the heat of the end result, as opposed to actual chillies. When the jar is empty, I half fill it with water, give a good shake, and used that chill flavoured liquid to add a kick to soups, stews etc.
