Taco with jackfruit curry

Total: 30 min. | Active: 30 min.

All of a sudden, this huge, green, prickly exotic fruit is everywhere – 2019 may well be the year of the jackfruit! Ripe jackfruit tastes sweet and exotic, while the unripe fruit tastes rather bland. The fibrous flesh lends itself to vegetarian versions of pulled pork, chicken ragout and even curry.
