Preparation

  • Place the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and mix together.
  • Drain the jackfruit through a sieve, rinse well under running water, and drain.
  • Cut the jackfruit into nugget-sized pieces, add to the marinade, mix well, and leave to marinate for several hours or overnight.
  • Heat the deep fryer to 175°C.
  • For a wet batter, mix 50 g flour with water until smooth and let stand for 5 minutes. Place the remaining flour in a bowl.
  • First coat the nuggets in flour (shake off any excess flour), then dip them in the wet batter and coat them with panko. If you like a little more variety, you can coat some of the nuggets with VEGGIE CRUMBZ vegetable coating.
  • Fry the nuggets in hot oil until crispy.
  • Serve with mixed salad, flatbread, and dip.

 

The recipe for 4 servings makes approx. 25 pieces. 

 

Tip: The nuggets can also be fried in a pan with plenty of oil.
