Method
Preparing the Jackfruit:
-
To prepare jackfruit, drain both packages with a strainer and rinse off.
-
Cut off the tough bottom parts and put them in a pot of boiling water. You can also mince the bottom parts and boil them if you like, this is what I do cause personally don’t like to waste.
-
Then boil it for 10 minutes, strain and rinse off in cold water so that it is warm to the touch. Use a towel to soak up as much moisture as you can and break up the fibers so that it resembles the texture of pulled pork. Set aside.
Tomato Curry:
-
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over a medium-low heat. Add ginger, garlic, and sauté for a few minutes then add the spices. Stir for a few minutes.
-
Add the tomato paste, agave and 1 can of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes then add jackfruit. Continue to simmer for 20 minutes until sauce thickens.
Chutney Instruction:
-
Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
-
Taste and adjust salt.
Spicy Chickpeas:
-
Preheat oven to 400˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drain chickpeas with a strainer and dry them on a paper towel.
-
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix till well combined.
-
Spread the chickpeas evenly over a layer on a baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crispy.
Assembly:
-
Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and fry tortillas 3 minutes on each side right before serving, just enough to soften the tortillas.
-
Take a large scoop of the curried pulled jackfruit put it in your cooked taco. Top off with spicy chickpeas, chutney and whatever topping that you have chosen to use. Enjoy!
