Ingredients
- 400g tin jackfruit
- 5 tbsp ready-made jerk barbecue marinade
- ¼ red cabbage, shredded
- 1 carrot, peeled and ribboned with a peeler
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 5 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
- 2 vegan burger buns or mini ciabattas, cut in half
- squeeze fresh lime
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
Rinse and drain the jackfruit and put into a bowl. Use a fork to shred the pieces into strings. Add the jerk barbecue marinade and stir to coat.
Cover a baking tray with foil and brush with a little vegetable oil. Transfer the jackfruit on to the baking tray in a single layer and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the jackfruit has crisped up at the edges and is hot through.
Meanwhile, put the onion, cabbage and carrot in a bowl and mix with enough vegan mayonnaise to make a coleslaw. Season with salt and pepper.
Build your burgers with the slaw and barbecue jerk jackfruit and serve.
Recipe Tips
This might make a bit more coleslaw than needed in your burgers so you can eat it as a side or save for later in the fridge.
