A few nights ago I walked down to The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia after dinner to see the Maud Lewis art exhibition that has settled in Halifax after traveling across Canada.
I was amazed that Jackfruit could be used in such a way. I've only ever seen it in Queensland (Australia) and South East Asia, but its something we often see in small baskets in the veggie section of our local supermarket as we have a high density of Asian students living in our suburb.
I'm sorely tempted, especially as I love purple cabbage (and lovely ruby red radicchio).
It's such a unique fruit. I have never cooked from fresh, that would take some googling... either way I imagine the benefit is how it shreds apart, like pulled pork. A textural "meat" - see how it goes! xx
