Ingredients
For the Pulled Jackfruit
- 1 red onion
- 1 x 400g tin jackfruit
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon onion flakes
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 heaped tablespoon tomato paste
- Salt to taste
- Note: You can substitute the spices for taco seasoning
For the Kale-slaw
- 3-4 large kale leaves, stems removed and washed, thinly shredded
- 1/4 small red or white cabbage, thinly shredded
- 1/4 cup spicy mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
To Serve
- 4 x burger buns
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime
- Spicy mayonnaise
Instructions
- To make the pulled jackfruit, drain the jackfruit and rinse. Pull the jackfruit apart into shreds. If there are any firm pieces of jackfruit core, finely slice them before using. Set aside.
- Finely dice the onion. Place a large frypan onto a medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the onion and cook until the onion has softened and started to change colour, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the spices, onion flakes and dried oregano to the onion and stir through. Cook for a further minute until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the jackfruit and tomato paste then stir to combine.
- Add around half a cup of hot water so that the jackfruit is mostly covered. Cover with a lid and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the jackfruit is soft.
- While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare the slaw. In a large bowl, add the vegan mayo and vinegar and mix with a fork. Add the shredded kale and cabbage and toss to combine.
- Prepare the smashed avo by mashing the avocado in a bowl. Squeeze in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Once the jackfruit is cooked, remove the lid and allow the sauce to reduce until you have a thick jackfruit mixture. Taste and adjust with salt.
- When the jackfruit is ready, slice the burger buns and toast until golden. Build your burgers with slaw, jackfruit and smashed avo. Finish with vegan mayo on the lid of the burger bun.
