Pulled jackfruit without BBQ sauce

S made pulled jackfruit before, but it seemed like BBQ sauce was an important ingredient - and we don't often have BBQ sauce in the house. So this is a version using stuff we do usually have in the house. It's really quick and easy, and tasty, and made me feel a bit silly for leaving the tins of jackfruit he bought ages ago unused for so long.

2 x 400 g cans jackfruit in brine
1 tbsp veg oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
1 tsp chopped ginger
3 tbsp tomato puree
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 tbsp paprika
pinch cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup
salt+pepper

Drain the jackfruit and pull into bitesize pieces, discarding the seeds. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and fry the garlic and ginger lightly. Add the jackfruit and saute gently for a few minutes. Mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl and then add to the pan. Saute for 10 min or so, until the sauce is mostly absorbed by the jackfruit.


This is nice... but I do still need to come up with other ways of using jackfruit!
