To begin, you want to drain the jackfruit. Now, tear up the jackfruit with your *clean* hands and place in a bowl. It should resemble shredded “pulled pork”. For any tougher segments, like the core, use a knife to chop into little pieces.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a medium sized saucepan. Add the jackfruit and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring regularly.
When the jackfruit has turned slightly grey – this can be quite hard to spot but should happen within the 3-5 minute cooking time – add the mustard and stir thoroughly.
Take the saucepan off the heat and remove the jackfruit, placing it back in the bowl you used earlier.
Using the same saucepan, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and heat on low. Add all the spices, sugar and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly. You’ll see the oils start to release from the spices as the ingredients come together into a fragrant paste.
Now add the ketchup, stirring well to create a sticky BBQ sauce.
Lastly, squeeze over the lime juice and stir before tipping in our pre-cooked jackfruit.
Stir well to fully coat the jackfruit, remove from the heat and set aside.
