Ingredients
2 cans Biona Organic Jackfruit, drained
1 large onion, cut into 12 wedges
1 large green pepper, sliced
1 large red pepper, sliced
50g mushrooms, any kind, thinly sliced
120g cashews
1 can Biona Organic Coconut Milk
Handful of basil
2 Tbsp Biona Organic coconut oil for stir-frying
For the curry paste:
3 large spring onions, thinly sliced
2 fresh red chilies (or more if you want it ultra spicy), thinly sliced
8 whole lime leaves, fresh
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Lime Juice
2 Tbsp coconut aminos
A handful of fresh basil leaves
2 Tbsp Biona Organic Coconut Oil
4 Tbsp Biona Organic Tamari Sauce
1 Tbsp Biona Organic Coconut Sugar
Method
- First, prepare the curry paste. Place all paste ingredients together in a food processor and process well. Lime Leaf Tip: Prepare the lime leaves using kitchen scissors to cut out (and discard) the hard central stem. Set the paste aside.
- Cut jackfruit into desired bite size pieces, either in strips or cubes/chunks. Set aside.
- Place 2 Tbsp of coconut oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and stir-fry 3 minutes. Add the peppers. Continue stir-frying another 3 minutes, or until peppers have softened and turned bright in color. Add a little more oil if needed.
- Add the jackfruit and mushrooms. Stir-fry another 3 minutes and add a little water if needed.
- Add the paste and the coconut milk. Stir well to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, allowing curry to gently simmer 2-3 minutes, or until ingredients are nicely cooked, but not overcooked. Try not to overcook this curry, or you will lose the fragrance and taste of the paste.
- Just before serving, add the cashews, gently stirring them in. Check for seasoning, if it needs more salt, add a little tamari. To serve, potion out into bowls, sprinkle with fresh basil and serve with fluffy rice or quinoa.
- Enjoy!
