Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the Coconut Oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic and cook until golden and softened, 6-8 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch.

  3. 3

    Stir in the shallots plus the ground coriander, ground turmeric and galangal; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.

  4. 4

    Add the jackfruit, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

  5. 5

    Pour in the sweet soy sauce, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the jackfruit is tender.

  6. 6

    Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the ground coriander in the oil before adding anything wet.
