Jackfruit larb
Serves: 4 (as a lunch or starter)
Elements:
2 x 400g tins jackfruit
1 lemongrass stalk
1 garlic clove
2.5cm piece recent ginger
2-3 pink chillies
10g recent coriander
10g recent mint
50g salted peanuts
2 child gem lettuces
1 tbsp groundnut oil
For the dressing:
2 limes
1 banana shallot
1 tbsp gentle soy sauce
1 tbsp candy chilli sauce
Technique:
1. Preheat oven to 200C. Line a baking tray. Be sure you have a clear tea towel, a pestle and mortar and a wok.
2. Roast the jackfruit: drain and rinse the jackfruit, then pat dry with the clear tea towel. Unfold out on the lined baking tray and roast within the scorching oven for 20 minutes. Use two forks to tug aside and shred the jackfruit.
3. In the meantime, put together the remaining substances: trim the lemongrass stalk, strip the bark and slice finely. Peel and finely grate the garlic and ginger. Finely slice the chillies. Choose the coriander leaves and finely slice the stems. Choose the mint leaves. Break the peanuts up within the pestle and mortar. Lower away the stems of the lettuce, pull aside the bigger leaves and rinse beneath chilly water. Halve the limes for the dressing, peel the shallot, reduce it in half and finely slice it lengthways.
4. Prepare dinner the larb: heat the oil within the wok over a medium-high warmth. Add the jackfruit and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, two of the chillies and the coriander stems. Stir for 2 minutes. Flip the warmth right down to very low to maintain heat, stirring sometimes to verify it doesn’t catch.
5. Make the dressing: squeeze the lime juice right into a bowl. Add the sliced shallot and squash it barely to interrupt it down a bit of. Add the soy sauce and candy chilli and stir to mix.
6. Serve: spoon the jackfruit combination into the lettuce leaves, drizzle over the dressing, garnish with the recent coriander, mint leaves, damaged peanuts and some slices of chilli when you prefer it further kicky! Serve instantly.
