What can I do with a tin of jack fruit?

[KateLumley]

It's been lurking in the cupboard for ages. Does anyone have a good recipe please?

I don't eat meat, and don't particularly want food to resemble meat either.

put it in the bin. its bloody gross

Do you just put the Jack fruit in? Or does it need any preparation?

Oh god I have flashbacks to my vegan phase and it's also made me think of that tin of Tuno I once had

I tried Jack Fruit pulled pork. It was grim.
Very very salty and a waste of other ingredients.

If you do use it (I'm in the bin it camp myself) make sure you rinse it properly.

Hardly a meat-substitute @ 2g of protein per 100g, when beef is c.26g !

@KateLumley I just drain it, squash it with the back of a fork and Chuck in it! It absorbs whatever herbs/spices you are using and tastes like that flavour. I sometimes marinade it for an hour or overnight and Chuck in a a salad too 😃

This may be some help OP......

what the hell is Jack fruit I've never heard of it!

Donate it to a food bank.

I had a jackfruit chilli pie recently and while jackfruit isn't for me, pastry can hide. a multitude of sins. The concept was good if jackfruit is your thing.

Thanks @Badger1970 I did search bbc good food as it is my go to, but nothing came up

I don't think I dare @Pacca, judging by the comments on here

Tell it to hit the road and never come back no more, no more, no more, no more, no more.

Throw it at your enemies?

I really don't like it I would bin it

Jackfruit is one of those things that looks really nice, and the idea of it is great, but actually just tastes like shit.

Jackfruit 'pulled pork' is nothing like pulled pork in any way, it just looks like it on the plate. It's pretty gross tbh.

It tastes like shit to people who don't know how to cook it, I think. Just like pork would taste like shit if I cooked it ( because I never have).

Anyone had jackfruit chips ( crisps)?

Jackfruit curry is bloody lovely. No recipe though sorry OP I made it up as I went along.
I’ve had pulled “pork” jackfruit but made by someone else in a bbq sauce with slaw in a roll.
looks like I’m the only fan here … 🙈🙈😂

I make up my own recipes as well but there are a million curry recipes online

The trouble is we don’t know if you have unripe jackfruit in brine or ripe jackfruit in syrup.

The former is a useful ‘meat replacement’ when marinated in spices for tacos, biriyanis, other spicy main courses.

The latter is a sweet tropical fruit like mango or papaya.

Unfortunately many recipes in the U.K. don’t make it clear a jackfruit comes in both forms.

Send it for Harvest festival

Vile stuff!!

Talking of revolting- (and whilst I'm not veggie I can appreciate nice veggie food) Waitrose have a mushroom stroganoff thing in their vegan range that truly tastes and smells like 3 week old unwashed socks of a bloke with a heavy manual job!! Utterly revolting.
