Ingredients
2 cans jackfruit
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1/2 red onion, diced
5 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 zucchini, sliced
1/2 cup frozen corn
2 Tbsp. tomato sauce
Directions
- Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Shred by hand, breaking up any large clumps. Place in a clean cloth or tea towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
- Mix together the sea salt, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
- Place the drained jackfruit in a large bowl and add the cornstarch, mixing well. Add the spice mixture, stirring well to coat completely.
- Cook in a nonstick pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until browned, stirring occasionally and pulling apart any remaining clumps with a fork. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan, followed immediately by the vegetables. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the tomato sauce and stir well.
- Add the jackfruit back to the pan with the vegetables and stir well to combine.
- Enjoy over rice, in a taco or burrito, or on a burger bun. It’s also great inside a warm tortilla along with hummus, avocado, mixed greens, and fresh cilantro.
