Jackfruit Cottage Pie

20th June 2019 by letseatsmart 4 Comments

Hearty veggies and flavoursome jackfruit in a brothy sauce topped with fluffy sweet mashed potatoes. Need I say more?

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I only discovered jackfruit a few months ago, but it was love at first sight (or should I say, love at first taste?). I rather like its gummy, stringy consistency which reassembles pulled pork. On its own, jackfruit has very little taste however, it really does absorb the flavours when cooked. I’ve tried it in a variety of dishes, like curries, chillis, pizzas and soups. I’ve recently tried it in a cottage-style pie and it turned out so good, I decided to share my recipe with you guys.

High in fibre and vitamin B6, jackfruit is a great meat substitute that isn’t highly processed. It is a true gift from the gods, me thinks!

Ingredients

For the mash

  • 500 g potatoes, I used Maris Piper
  • 600 g sweet potatoes
  • 50 g vegan buttery spread/margarine
  • 4 tbsp breadcrumbs

For the filling

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot, sliced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, pressed
  • 2 celery sticks, sliced
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds
  • salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 200 g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tin jackfruit, drained
  • 400 g chickpeas
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 120 ml vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 50 ml red wine

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C | Gas mark 6.
  • Peel and chop the potatoes (including sweet potatoes), place in a large pan of salted water, bring to the boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, drain add the margarine and a pinch of salt, mash until smooth and set aside.
  • Using a pestle and mortar, bash the coriander seeds until fine.
  • Heat a splash of oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add in the chopped onions, carrots, garlic, celery and coriander seeds. Add a little salt and pepper and cook for about 10-15 minutes until softened.
  • Add the jackfruit, chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, vegetable stock, paprika and 50ml red wine and allow to bubble away for further 10-15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a baking dish and spread the mash over the top and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for around 15 minutes or until piping hot. If you want the breadcrumbs to be crispy and golden, place under the grill for 3-5 minutes.

    Very tasty , I also added some vegan Cheese to the Breadcrumbs, which worked really well. Definitely cook this again. I prepped the meal in the morning and oven baked in the evening for 30 minutes.. consequently it was drier than intended, next time I will add a little more stock.

AD | Chewy, gooey, caramelised biscuit cookies 🍪  With crunchy caramelised biscuit wafer pieces from @loveraw  Makes 8
Ingredients
* 120 g golden caster sugar
* 50 g dark chocolate chunks
* 2 @loveraw caramelised biscuit wafer bars
* 1/8 tsp salt
* 200 g plain flour
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 60 g butter, melted
* 50 g caramelised biscuit spread
* 70 g golden syrup
* 3 tbsp water
Instructions
* Preheat the oven to 180C | gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.

* In a large bowl, combine the golden caster sugar, chocolate chunks and salt. Sieve in the flour and soda.

* In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit spread, butter and golden syrup. Once combined, add it to the flour mixture. Mix using a wooden spoon and bring the dough together using your hands.

* Divide the dough into 8 golf sized balls, flatten slightly and place on the baking tray. Roughly chop the wafer bars and gently push in a couple of pieces into each cookie. 

* Bake in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges of the cookies should feel firm but the centre will be still quite soft. Leave to cool for 15 minutes.  #biscoff #caramelisedbiscuit #cookies #chewycookies #chocoholic #dessertporn #vegandessert #vegetarianrecipe #recipe #foodporn #vegan #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #veganfood #veganrecipes #foodinspo #foodblog #foodie #foodshare #veganmealprep #veganism #foodinsta #fitspiration #cantbelieveitsvegan #cleaneating #diet #mealprepinspo #plantbaseddiet #bvsbackdrops
