Ingredients

  • 300 g canned jackfruit in syrup
  • 1 tsp cajun spice
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp hot paprika
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

  • 1 cup vegetable juice unsalted
  • 1 tsp oregano

    Add the onion and garlic to the pan and fry for 2 minutes. Add the corn kernels and capsicum and then fry for a further 3 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Add pulled jackfr and kidney beans. Season with oregano and sea salt. Fry for 5 minutes and stir, but do not burn it.
  • Step 4
    Deglaze with the vegetable juice. Mix well and turn down the heat. Pop the lid on and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. Plate and garnish with dill.
Recipe Notes

Serve with long grain rice, guacamole and lime.

I steam the rice with some caraway seeds, which gives the rice a nice flavour.
