Jackfruit Tacos (Vegan Pulled Pork)
18.04.2020
I’ve been eating ripe jackfruit (aka Katahar, nangka) for as long as I’ve been going to the Côte d’Ivoire. It’s fresh tasting with a nice, light sweetness. I’ve also come across the ‘green’ version in (mostly vegan) restaurants where it tends to be served as an alternative to ‘pulled pork’. Always tasty! Clearly high time for me to get down to work and create my own tasty jackfruit recipe. So, here it is! I think it turned out really well. Can’t wait to hear what you think! ; ) Enjoy!

Method
1. Drain the jackfruit, rinse and place on a cutting board.
2. Remove the core (the hard parts) and throw in the compost. Pull the jackfruit apart so that it starts to look and feel like pulled pork. You can do this with your fingers or using a fork. Transfer to a bowl.
3. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add the olive oil to a frying pan on medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is glassy. Stir continuously.
4. Add the remaining ingredients (excluding the tortillas, dressing ingredients and toppings) and stir well. Allow to simmer for another two minutes.
5. Transfer the sauce to the bowl with the pulled jackfruit, stir to ensure that the jackfruit is fully covered in sauce and marinate for 30 to 60 minutes in the fridge.
6. Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining the dressing ingredients in a blender (or container for use with an immersion blender) and blitzing until smooth.
7. Warm the marinated jackfruit mixture and a splash of water for about 15 minutes.
8. Warm up the tortillas in the pan, spoon the jackfruit filling on to the tortillas, top with toppings of choice and a bit of dressing (to taste) and enjoy!

cbd for cats
I’m the manager of JustCBD brand (justcbdstore.com) and am aiming to develop my wholesale side of business. I am hoping anybody at targetdomain share some guidance . I thought that the very best way to accomplish this would be to connect to vape stores and cbd retailers. I was hoping if anybody at all could recommend a qualified website where I can buy CBD Shops B2B Sales Leads I am currently considering creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. On the fence which one would be the very best solution and would appreciate any advice on this. Or would it be much simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new surveys are added- checkbox and already if a comment is added I purchase four emails with similar comment. Perhaps there is any way it is possible to remove me from that service? Thanks!
