Ingredients

4 servings
Raw jackfruit (young green jackfruit)500 g tender raw jackfruit, or 2 tins young jackfruit in brine, drained
Cooking oil (vegetable oil)1½ tbsp
Onion1, thinly sliced
Garlic3 cloves, minced
Paprika2 tsp smoked paprika
Cumin powder (ground cumin)1 tsp
Barbecue sauce½ cup
Water½ cup
Saltto taste
Cabbage2 cups, finely shredded
Carrot1, grated

Method

5 steps
  1. 1If using fresh raw jackfruit, oil your hands and knife, cut it into chunks and boil in salted water until a fork slides in. Drain. Tinned jackfruit just needs rinsing.
  2. 2Cut away any hard core, then shred the jackfruit with two forks. Pick out large seeds.
  3. 3Fry the onion in oil until soft and golden, then add garlic, paprika and cumin for 30 seconds.
  4. 4Add the jackfruit, BBQ sauce, water and salt. Cook, stirring, until thick, then press it flat and let it catch for a few minutes.
  5. 5Toss the cabbage and carrot with lemon juice, mustard and a pinch of salt. Pile jackfruit onto toasted buns and top with slaw.
Serve it like this

Pile the jackfruit high on a toasted bun, crown with slaw and pickles, and serve on a board with fries or wedges.
