Remember a couple of weeks ago we had the big baby?
And I had explicitly mentioned that all parts could be eaten…even the unformed arils:
Well, here is a recipe for this part of the jackfruit, which is usually discarded. I recommend that you do not eat this part raw because it still has some sticky latex attached to it. The best thing to do is to cook it and so this is a yummy recipe for Curried Ripe Jackfruit.
The ripe jackfruit caramelises nicely to compliment the mustard seeds, cumin, tumeric and paprika. Fresh curry leaves are used to enhance the flavour of the whole “sweet and savoury dish.”
We both enjoyed the curried jackfruit with lentils and agreed that NO part of the jackfruit should be thrown away!!
