About the Recipe

Preheat your oven to 200ºC.

After draining your jackfruit, pat dry with a clean tea towel. Then gently pull the jackfruit apart so it looks like flaked tuna. It’s easiest to use your fingers for this.

Place your mashed potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add the shredded jackfruit and all other ingredients, except the panko breadcrumbs. Season with a pinch of salt to taste. Mix well and set aside for 20 minutes.

Line a tray with baking paper. After 20 minutes add your panko breadcrumbs and mix gently to make sure everything is well combined. Dampen your hands slightly. Take a small handful of the mixture and form six equally sized balls. Place each on your lined tray and flatten with your palm to create patties.

Brush each patty with a little olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Gently flip over and bake for another 10 minutes until golden brown.

Serve with a fresh green salad, lemon wedges and tartare sauce with a teaspoon of your fresh chives stirred through.

Good to know: Jackfruit is a nutritional powerhouse! It’s high in fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants. It is also low in calories and fat, making it a healthy alternative to seafood. Jackfruit is also cholesterol-free and a good source of potassium, which is important for your heart health.
