Vegan Pulled Jackfruit Loaded Fries (Vg)
Whether you’re vegan or just trying to cut down on your meat intake, this vegan pulled jackfruit dish will hit the spot! Long time vegans will know all about jackfruit as a great alternative to pulled pork. With just a few spices, BBQ sauce and a slow cook, you’ll have a fantastic shredded jackfruit base. Just load it onto fries with all of the toppings of your choice!
Tinned jackfruit is readily available in most supermarkets these days. Follow the recipe below, making sure to take the extra steps to dry the jackfruit at the start. Then with a BBQ sauce of your choice and a slow cook, it will rehydrate and absorb all that flavour!
To finish, we keep it simple with vegan smoked cheese, spring onion and freshly chopped parsley. You could add vegan garlic mayo, jalapeños, diced red onion, or whatever else you want! Don’t fancy fries? Alternatively, load this into toasted burger buns and top with vegan coleslaw!
