If you don’t know about jackfruit yet, you soon will. A truly versatile food increasingly used in vegan cooking, it is set to be one of the biggest trends of 2018. Available from Bidfood, this adaptable ingredient absorbs the flavours of sauces you cook it in, and not only looks like meat, but has a similar texture once prepared
Ingredients (serves 20)

For the filling:

  • 40ml pure olive oil
  • 200g fine sliced onions
  • 1kg Chef’s Choice green jackfruit in brine

Method

To cook the jackfruit:

  • Heat the oil and sauté the onions until golden brown
  • Add the prepared jackfruit (you need to cut the core out before cooking)
  • Cook for a further 10 mins and then add ⅓rd of the Lion Hickory BBQ sauce – pull the jackfruit into shreds
  • Place into an oven tray and pour over the remainder of the sauce
  • Cover and place in oven at 160°C for 40mins
  • Remove from the oven and stir at regular intervals – add more sauce and water if required
  • Chill and use as required

To assemble the tacos:

  • Warm the cooked jackfruit and put to one side
  • Warm the corn tortillas and then pile in the jackfruit
  • Finish with sliced red onions, sprigs of coriander and lime wedges
