Hi Everyone,

In this post, I will show you how to make a great jackfruit ‘tuna’ salad that is done in only 15 minutes! I’ve been using homemade vegan mayonnaise. You can check the recipe on my Webpage or on my YouTube channel.

INGREDIENTS:
– a can of young jackfruit
– 1 tsp of salt & 2 tsp of seaweed
– 1 tsp of pepper
– 1,5 tsp of mustard
– 1 tbsp of vegan butter
– 2 tbsp of vegan cream cheese (I used Violife)
– 4 tbsp of vegan mayonnaise
– 1 celery stick
– 2-3 pickled gherkins
– 80g of sweetcorn (half of a small can)

PREPARATION:

To start off, get the jackfruit ready for your salad – take out the pits and separate it (the same way as when making pulled jackfruit).

Now mix up the following: Mayo, cream cheese, butter, mustard, salt, pepper, and seaweed – mix it all well together and add it to the jackfruit.

Now fine chop the celery & gherkins, and add them together with the sweetcorn to the jackfruit – mix it all well together!

Chill the salad in the fridge and you are ready to serve!

Enjoy!

Are you wondering what to make for lunch today? Young jackfruit is a delicious option for you! Serve it with rice or make yourself a wrap!

Today we are making young jackfruit that you can find nearly in every grocery store nowadays. To prepare this it should take you around 25 – 30 minutes and should be fine for 3 – 4 people. It’s going to be Mexican inspired and served simply with some rice & roasted soybeans for crunchiness.

INGREDIENTS:
– 1 can of Young Jackfruit
– 1/2 can of Black Beans
– 1/2 small can of Sweetcorn
– 1 medium-sized Onion
– A handful of Green beans
– 1 medium-sized carrot
– 2 small sweet peppers
– Half a Lime (lime juice)
– 2 tsp of Salt
– 1 tsp of Chili (really up to you how spicy you would like it 🙂
– 1/2 tsp of Garlic Powder
– 1/2 tsp of Turmeric
– 1 tbsp of Coconut oil
– 1.5 tsp of Mustard
– 2 tsp of Liquid Smoke

Rice will require the following ingredients:
– bunch of Parsley (and I usually like a LOT)
– 1 tbsp of Vegan Butter
– 2 cups of Rice (I used Basmati this time as it is nice and quick to prepare)
– some Salt and a few drops of oil for the cooking part so the rice doesn’t stick!

PREPARATION:

Once you have gathered all these ingredients, you will start by draining the water from the can of Jackfruit and start taking the pits and hard bits out of it and putting it into a bowl.
The next step is to add all the ingredients: Salt, Chili, Garlic, Turmeric, Coconut Oil, Mustard, Lime Juice, and Liquid smoke – mix it all together, and let’s start choppin’ those veggies.
Chop the onion in nice small pieces and the rest in bigger ones. You are now ready for cooking! (You can now start cooking some rice)
Preheat the pan, and throw that onion into it. Let it fry for about 2 minutes and then add the cut vegetables and fry it for the same amount of time on high heat.
Now you can lower down the heat and add the Jackfruit mixture to it with 1/3 cup of water. Once it comes up to heat add the beans & corn and take it off the hob!

You are ready to serve it, Enjoy!!
