½ red onion

1 lime

2 x 565g Tin Jackfruit

1 tblsp olive oil

1 medium onion

4 tblsp chipotle puree

4 confit garlic cloves

400g tin chopped tomatoes

1 cup vegetable stock

2 tblsp agave

1 ½ teasp cumin

2 teasp oregano

2 lime zest & juice

1 bunch coriander

 

1 Ripe Avocado

 

Slice the red onion very thinly using a mandolin or a sharp knife. Place in a bowl and squeeze the juice of a lime over it, add a pinch of salt and mix well.

Leave to cure for a minimum of 10 minutes.

 

Slice the white onion and cook in a pot with the olive oil until tender, 3-4 min.

 

Blend the tomatoes, garlic, stock, agave, lime, oregano & cumin to a smooth sauce

and pour over the onions, allow the sauce to cook on a simmer while you add the jackfruit.

Cook for about 10 minutes allowing the jackfruit to soften, become nice and tender and absorb the flavours from the sauce.

 

With 2 forks shred the jackfruit if there is any large pieces and toss in the tomato sauce.

Add the chopped coriander

Serve the Jackfruit Tinga with cured red onion and a slice of avocado in a tortilla.
