Jackfruit Pot Pie

[Airehead]

Gluten free, vegan. On the rotation this week because I have never cooked with jackfruit.

I read that  cooked properly jackfruit is bursting with flavor, succulent and juicy, with crispy edges that can rival any barbecued pork on the market. When not cooked properly, jackfruit can be bitter, watery, and bland.

Jackfruit would make a good sock puppet name

I did not appreciate how good it could be until I ate at a vegan restaurant. It’s a great— arguably the best — meat substitute.

I think we all know how mine would come out.

Are you cutting it up yourself?

If there is one at Wegmans. If not canned in water not syrup.

I’m curious how it turns out.

Hints are to wear gloves.  Apparently it is sticky as all get out. 
 

shootie, kind of bland but takes the flavor of the ingredients around it.

And it’s got a chewy meat like texture.

True. It made great pulled “pork”

My dad liked it and ate it raw but I honestly don’t remember much about it. My mom didn’t have it around after he died.  

As I was typing the above my memory was of him cutting it in 1/2 & scooping out little pods of fruit  with a spoon.  I UTFG and came upon this image which is what I had envisioned.

I learned if it is ripe that it is delicious raw. If it is green cook it.

Never mind the jackfruit.

How much pot does a jackfruit pot pie recipe call for, and can you get that at Wegman's too?
