Ingredients 

​

• 3 Cans of Young jackfruit in water or salt brine (60oz total)

• 1 Cup Sofrito (Homemade if possible) (Optional for Puerto Rican flavor)

• 1 Tablespoon Garlic powder

• ½ Tablespoon Black pepper

• 1 Tablespoon Turmeric powder

• 1 Tablespoon Cumin powder

• 2 Tablespoons Poultry seasoning (optional)

• ½ teaspoon red pepper powder

• Pinch of cinnamon

• Coconut oil (½ cup)

• Pinch of salt

​

• Strain Jackfruit 3 times under water to ensure all of the brine (juice) is strained out.

• Using a kitchen fork, shred each Jackfruit wedge until completely separated (do not remove seeds or any other part) 

• Once all jackfruit is shredded and chopped add it to a large bowl and mix in ALL of the Oil, Seasonings and Sofrito, in that order.

• Mix well and let sit for 15-30 minutes to soak up the flavors.

• After the filling has soaked, in a sauté pan on medium heat add a little oil to coat the pan and 3 tablespoon of Sofrito.

• Once the oil is heated add in ALL of the jackfruit filling and cook for 15 minutes constantly stirring to prevent burning.

• Let cool and add to Tamales, Pasteles, Rice, Tacos or whatever your heart desires.

CHEF NOTES

• You can cut the recipe in 1/3 if you prefer a smaller batch. 

• Wash the jackfruit a few time to get rid if the taste

• Young jackfruit Hasn't created the sweet taste yet so this is why we recommended young jackfruit
