Vegan Drums Recipe

Prepare Jackfruit

Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit. Remove the seeds and shred the jackfruit using your fingers or a fork until it resembles pulled meat.

Make the Batter

In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Gradually add the plant-based milk until you reach a smooth batter consistency.

Coat the Jackfruit

Dip the shredded jackfruit into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

Coat with Breadcrumbs

Place the coated jackfruit into a bowl of breadcrumbs. Roll and press it gently to ensure an even coating.

Fry the Drumsticks

In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated jackfruit. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare Quinoa

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, add the rinsed quinoa and double the amount of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Steam Broccoli

In a steamer basket, place the broccoli florets and steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still bright green.
