Jackfruit Preparation

Method

Jackfruit Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jackfruit

    Open the can of organic smoked jackfruit and drain the liquid. Rinse the jackfruit under cold water to remove excess brine. Shred the jackfruit using your hands or a fork.

  2. 2

    Cook the Jackfruit

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded jackfruit, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is heated through and slightly caramelized.

Toppings and Assembly

  1. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the cooked jackfruit on one half of the egg bun. Top with provolone cheese slices. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it heat for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

  2. 4

    Prepare Avocado and Jalapeños

    While the cheese is melting, slice the ripe avocado. If using fresh jalapeños, slice them, dip in batter and fry until crispy.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of the egg bun, layer the melted jackfruit with provolone, add sliced avocado, fried jalapeños, and drizzle with table sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
