Ingredients
  

For the jackfruit

  • 520 gr (net weight) canned young jackfruit
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp curcuma
  • ½ tsp salt

For serving

  • 4-5 pita bread
  • 1 red onion in slices
  • sauce of your preference mayonnaise, mustard, even fava, etc (we like it very much with mayonnaise or fava)
  • pan-fried kale

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the marinade by mixing all the spices, salt, and olive oil in a bowl.
  • Drain and rinse the jackfruit in plenty of water and lay it in a pyrex.
  • Break apart the jackfruit chunks with a fork and pour the marinade.
  • Use your hands to get the marinade everywhere.
  • Ideally, leave it in the fridge for a day to marinate well. If you are, however, in a hurry, place the jackfruits chunks in parchment paper in the oven at 100 degrees C for about 40-50 minutes.
  • Then, increase the temperature to 200 degrees C and cook them for about 30 minutes until golden and crisp (the exact temperature and time depend on your oven).
  • Serve in pita bread with sauce and kale that you have lightly fried in a little oil.
