Method
Step 1
Heat up olive oil in a medium, heavy-bottomed, pan. Fry diced onion until softened, translucent, and lightly caramelised. Add chopped garlic and fry off gently until soft and fragrant.Step 2
Drain both jackfruit tins add to the onions in the pan. Mix to coat the jackfruit.Step 3
Add most of the spice mix. Fry them off gently, stirring the whole time, for a minute or so.Step 4
Add the sugar, tomato paste, Worcester sauce, and soy sauce. Mix everything well. Add the 50 ml water and scrape up any bits that might have stuck to the pan.Step 5
Squash the jackfruit pieces with your spoon/spatula so that the individual fibres separate more.Step 6
Simmer the mixture gently for another 10-15 minutes. When most of the liquid had evaporated and your jackfruit is sticky, finish with the juice from the lemon and remove from the heat.Step 7
Just before you are ready to assemble your kebabs, preheat the oven to 200° C (fan). Spread the jackfruit pieces on a baking paper-lined baking tray and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until a little caramelised and browned around the edges.Step 8
Assemble the Kebabs with the toppings of your choice and enjoy!
