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?

It's in brine.

bin it or bury it in the garden for archaeologists to find in 100 year or take the label off and donate to a food bank

Ok, then a spicy marinade will work. Like quorn, it needs flavour to make it useful. Smoked paprika, chilli and garlic, squeeze of lime, leave overnight and cook with onions and peppers. Add salsa/guacamole, sour cream and cheese in a taco or rice and beans in a burrito.

I have had it as a tagine type dish in Cafe Rouge and it was lovely, served with cous cous

@InsertPunHere thank you, that's very helpful.

Send it to the harvest festival. I love home made vegan food but found this really unappealing and gimmicky. I cooked it in a nice sauce. I never trust vegans when they talk up a product.

@Tabbouleh it's not the taste, it tastes of the flavours it's cooked with, it's the texture. How arrogant of you to assume that people who dislike it don't know how to cook.

It’s vile and dirt cheap, large food processing companies are making a fortune using it to exploit the vegan bandwagon. It’s all about the money not the sentiment behind why people become vegan. Heavily pushed by social media and big tech.

the first person who responded was correct, bin it.

Dishoom has far lovelier dishes too!!

I really like it. Most recently I cooked it in chinese 5 spice, honey and some sesame oil and put it in bao buns.
If has wee seedy things through it, when you're separating it up, make sure to remove these.
