I’ve seen a lot of people making chickpea tuna lately, and I kept thinking jackfruit would make a great texture for a vegan tuna replacement! And yep! Jackfruit tuna is the bomb!
I used the Jackman brand tuna to make this.. it isn’t as white as other jackfruit I’ve used, but it tastes the same, and the colour is actually perfect to make this recipe with! I also added some spring onion, red onion, vegan mayo and vegan fish sauce. If you can’t find fish sauce, then sub with some fresh lime juice and tamari. You can add extra things in this to your taste, perhaps some chilli flakes, or dried dill would work well!
You could use this mixture as a dip, put it through pasta or a pasta bake, in a salad, on crackers, on a sandwich or a toasted sandwich! So many options! The amount below is good for two sandwiches. You could make more and keep it in a sealed container in the fridge, it would keep for a few days at least.
I’ve been on a bit of jackfruit bandwagon lately, with the post about my Jackfruit Popcorn Bites last week!
