JACKFRUIT BRISKET

ORIGIN: ASHKENAZI

Traditional Brisket

Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of a cow. This tough cut of meat becomes tender and succulent after being slow cooked in a special sauce with onions, garlic, carrots, and potatoes at a low temperature for many hours. The sauce is the wildcard in every recipe and ranges from BBQ, sweet and sour, or red wine to Coca-Cola or coffee infused.

Plant-based Jackfruit Brisket

This jackfruit brisket is savory, slightly sweet, and delicious. It is meat-free and oil-free. In place of those heavy ingredients, we’re using jackfruit—a tropical fruit with a meaty texture similar to that of shredded slow-cooked meat. The sauce is made from tomato passata, soy sauce, yellow mustard, and maple syrup.

Jackfruit Brisket Variations

■ Texture: add thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms to make the jackfruit mixture more meat-like in texture and flavor.

■ Spice: add minced red chili to the braising liquid for a spicy brisket.

■ Serving ideas: serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and a green salad.
