Jackfruit Escabeche

Method

Preparation of Jackfruit Escabeche

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Jackfruit and Mushrooms

    Stir in the shredded jackfruit and portabella mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Escabeche Sauce

    In a bowl, combine white vinegar, water, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the jackfruit and vegetables in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes, Capers, and Olives

    Add the diced roma tomatoes, capers, and kalamata olives to the skillet. Mix well and allow to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the flavors meld together.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cilantro

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
