The other day I was shopping again at my trusted organic supermarket and for what felt like the hundredth time I passed by Jackfruit passed by. What should I do with it, I asked myself, and what is jackfruit anyway? Questions about questions and one thing I can tell you in advance, the fruit is damn tasty and it can conjure up great dishes. Since I am a big fan of Burgers I have thought of a delicious Recipe thought about it. As always, it’s quick to make, delicious, filling and hugely addictive. Are you ready? Then let’s get started.
Jackfruit Burger with Cole Slaw Recipe
One thing I can tell you in advance, the jackfruit tree does not grow in the home garden. Too bad actually, otherwise I would certainly harvest the thing every day. Joking aside, jackfruit is the fruit of the jackfruit tree and grows in South and Southeast Asia. In countries like India, Sri Lanka or Thailand it belongs to the daily kitchen like the potato or carrot with us. The fruit is virtually a giant among the exotics and can reach up to 35kg in weight.
Here are the TOP advantages of Jackfruit at a glance:
- The flesh is fibrous, remains nice and firm to the bite even when cooked, and for that reason alone is the perfect meat substitute. From my point of view, a great change in vegan cuisine.
- The fruit is rich in fiber, antioxidants, iron, zinc and potassium
- Rich in vitamin A and C
In terms of taste, jackfruit is relatively neutral and therefore incredibly versatile. What goes with it? A crunchy coleslaw with creamy avocado and, of course, lots of barbecue sauce.
Jackfruit Burger Time, Baby!
The Cole Slaw is as simple as it is quick to make. Red cabbage, a carrot, apple (gives quite a great flavor) with a simple vinaigrette of lemon juice, a dash of maple syrup, salt, pepper and an avocado. This provides a nice, creamy consistency.
This recipe is so simple and delicious that I am almost at a loss for words. It also makes you full, I can promise you that! For me, after two sandwiches, it was definitely time to call it a day. In doing so, I think I’ll do a little experiment soon and serve the burger to my “non-vegan” friends. Let’s see what the response is. Are you with us?
