INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup cooked or canned chickpeas, crushed
• 2 Tbsp deodorized coconut oil

• ½ tsp oregano, dried or fresh

DIRECTIONS:

1. Rinse the jackfruit well, drain and transfer to a medium sized saucepan, add 4 cups of water and boil on medium-high for 25 minutes or until tender.
2. In a medium skillet, add olive oil and sauté onions, garlic and mushrooms for 5 minutes or until tender.
3. In a small bowl, add dry texturized soy protein and pour in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully submerged and let sit 5-10 minutes.
4. In a high-speed food processor, transfer cooked jackfruit pieces and pulse until well shredded.
5. Transfer jackfruit to a large bowl and add the sautéed onions, garlic, mushrooms with texturized soy protein and mix well.
6. In a medium bowl, combine tapioca flour, chickpea flour, quinoa flour and nutritional yeast and add to jackfruit texturized soy protein mixture. Mix well.
