BBQ JACKFRUIT TACOS

3 May 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

Oh lala these tacos just rock and definitely have some latin temperament! Intensely seasoned and slow roasted jackfruit (young and ripe, that’s the secret to perfect tasting ‘pulled jackfruit meat’) makes this dish taste absolutely sensational. A crowd pleaser for sure. THE go-to Friday night dinner for a great start of the weekend.

Serves 8 taco’s

INGREDIENTS

BBQ Jackfruit
1 tin (560 g) young jackfruit, rinsed, drained and squeezed to thready bits
1 tin (560 g) ripe jackfruit, drained and squeezed to thready bits
1 red bell pepper, seeds removed and sliced
1 red onion, peeled and sliced
1 tsp chicken seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp sriracha
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp rice bran oil

Red Cabbage Pickle
1/4 red cabbage
75 ml vinegar
25 ml water
25 g sugar
3 pieces of star anise

Taco’s

8 soft small corn tortilla’s/taco sheets
4 tbsp vegan mayonaise
ca. 1/2 cucumber

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 180 C/350 F.

BBQ Jackfruit
Mix all ingredients on/in a baking tray. Roast for ca. 15 min. Toss ingredients and roast for another 15 min. Toss again and if not roasty yet, roast for another 15 min. (be careful though not to burn the mixture. This really depends on your oven). Taste and if needed add some seasoning to balance out flavour.

Red Cabbage Pickle
Cut cabbage in razor thin slices and place the slices in a bowl. Gently heat the water, vinegar, sugar and star anise in a saucepan and let the sugar dissolve. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage slices and let marinate until your ready – the longer, the yummier.

Taco’s
Heat tortilla’s in a dry skillet. Add some mayo, jackfruit roast, cucumber and red cabbage pickle on each tortilla. Share, serve with an extremely good salad with lots of lime juice, hot and spicy baked potatoes and… devour.

 


BBQ JACKFRUIT TACO’S

Deze taco kanjers rocken absoluut, hebben een heerlijk latino temperament en een sensationeel smaakprofiel. Door het jackfruit diep te roosteren met specerijen krijgt het een even heerlijke smaak als textuur, perfect voor dit gerecht waar traditioneel gezien vlees met een zelfde soort textuur en smaak gebruikt wordt. Een perfecte vrijdagavond maaltijd voor een heerlijke start van het weekend.

Voor 8 taco’s

INGREDIËNTEN

BBQ Jackfruit
1 blik (560 g) jonge jackfruit, afgespoeld, uitgelekt en in draderige stukjes geknepen
1 blik (560 g) rijpe jackfruit, uitgelekt en in draderige stukjes geknepen
1 rode paprika, zaadjes verwijderd en in reepjes
1 rode ui, gepeld en in dunne partjes
1 tl kipkruiden
1 tl gerookt paprika poeder
1/2 tl knoflookpoeder
2 tl sriracha
1 el soja saus
1 el keukenstroop
2 el rijstolie

Rode Kool Pickle
1/4 rode kool
75 ml azijn
25 ml water
25 g suiker
3 stuks steranijs

Taco’s

8 zachte kleine maistorilla’s
4 el vegan mayonaise
ca. 1/2 komkommer

INSTRUCTIES

BBQ Jackfruit
Meng alle ingrediënten in een baktray of op een bakplaat and rooster ca. 15 min. Schep om en rooster nogmaals 15 min. Check in hoeverre het mengsel geroosterd is. Je wilt geen natte kledder maar een lekkere diep geroosterde textuur en smaak (pas wel op voor verbranding, afhankelijk van hoe heet je oven wordt). Als het mengsel nog weinig gekleurd is, rooster dan nogmaals 15 min.

Rode Kool Pickle
Snijd de rode kool in ragfijne reepjes. Doe de reepjes over in een ruime kom. Verwarm water, azijn, suiker en steranijs zachtjes in steelpan tot de suiker is oplost. Giet dit mengsel over de geschaafde kool en laat marineren – hoe langer hoe lekkerder.

Taco’s
Rooster de tortilla’s heel kort in droge koekenpan. Beleg met vegan mayo, geroosterde jackfruit, plakjes komkommer en rode kool pickle. Deel, serveer met een frisse groene salade met veel limoensap en pittige, gebakken aardappelen en… verorber!

FISH-FREE MEDITERRANEAN ORZO This delicious orzo FISH-FREE MEDITERRANEAN ORZO

This delicious orzo dish with roasted vegetables takes little time to make and is bursting with flavour. The tuna-like flavour of @goodcatchfoods Fish Free Tuna by our friend @dereksarno goes well with savoury flavour bombs like olives and capers, and the creamy orzo provides an excellent stage for this goodness.

Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in Th Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in The Netherlands, so maybe it is not the best time to fire up that BBQ and start roasting the hell out of those veggies. But we pray for sunshine and when that sun starts shining tofu, seitan, tempeh and mushrooms will hit a bowl of marinade and will be roasted like there is no tomorrow.

The time we've all been waiting for is finally her The time we've all been waiting for is finally here. The summer family BBQ! The best time for a good toast under the sun, and a tasty roast too! Roasted tempeh and grilled tofu topped with tasty sauces are the perfect ingredients to set the summer vibes we’ve been looking forward to.

And yes, you read right. In the family summer BBQ we imagine, animals are more than welcome to attend as long as they are enjoying the moment with us, and not there as a sacrifice for us.

Sam and her family would be the first to say thanks for leaving meat behind this summer - and hopefully forever more! Sam is a mother of 251 piglets, of which only 9 are here today due to the industry. She became one of the lucky ones in February 2021 when she was rescued while pregnant with her little ones by @meliefanimalsanctuary. In wanting to show the spirit of those behind the isolated walls of the meat industry, House of Animals will be launching a documentary about Sam’s story and those of her piglets in 2022.

This summer and all days to come, let’s honor Sam and all the souls we’ve lost as a result of the industry by eating plant-based, succulent BBQs! Inspired by Sam’s story, House of Animals created a recipe book with the help of us, @maartjeborst and @lisettekreischer, which will make your summer glimmer with taste, rich flavors and joy. Download it for free on the website @mymomsam (link in our bio).

SUNNY SIDES UP Drum rolls, please! FAMILY.EAT.PL SUNNY SIDES UP

Drum rolls, please!

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has hit planet Earth and here is the first recipe to go online! And certainly not the least! Yes, we know, what you see here in the pic looks suspiciously like a sandwich with sunny-side-up eggs. But none of that!

What you see are peaches (or apricots) with a cheesy sauce. Maartje’s father used to make this recipe often on the weekend. Super easy, super yummy.

You can keep it plain and simple by just making the cheesy sauce, and prep the toast with the sauce and peaches, or you can go wild and throw some slices of vegan ham on there.

Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).

Dear peeps! It has been so long! How are you all d Dear peeps! It has been so long! How are you all doing?!

We have been absent for almost a year on this page. How time flies. When C hit and the measures influenced our lives as entrepreneurs we had to rearrange some stuff. We did not sit still though. Maartje moved to another city, published an amazing vegan baking book Taart ende Koeck and got pregnant ;-). Lisette co-wrote the book DOG.EAT.PLANT., became part of the rescue operation and project @mymomsam and unfortunately lost her biggest friend in the whole world, Mr. Pooh.

WHAT.A.JOURNEY. Life is just miraculous and everything always changes.

In January we embarked on the journey of making a vegan family cookbook which had been a long dream of ours. It turned out to be a magical process. Everything flowed like never before. Also, the book took on a whole new meaning for both of us. On the day we started shooting the recipes Maartje shared the extraordinary news of expecting a baby and after the last day of shooting little Pooh, Lisette's biggest family member passed away.

Making the book was an emotional project, but not in a hard way. It turned out to be very healing actually. The publisher was the kindest and helped in every way she could.

This whole book breathes family. And as far as we are concerned... family is a feeling.

A family is a co-creation of beings - human, more than human, etc. And that includes tasty, diverse, and good food. Food that supports everything and everyone, including this Earth. 

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has become a delicious cookbook, this time with family recipes for young and old. In addition to recipes, this book also contains interviews with the inspiring and amazing plant-powered families.

We cannot wait to have a copy in our hands and are counting down the days.

Want to have a copy in your hands too ;-)? You can pre-order this book now via link in bio. The book will launch next week and we will share some of the recipes over here (in EN & NL).

Dear peeps, We have let our minds wander in regar Dear peeps,

We have let our minds wander in regards to the new reality we are finding ourselves in and to say it with the words of @zachbushmd (check out his posts!) we 'strongly believe there is too much bandwidth of the collective human consciousness spent on this topic’ so we are not gonna add anything to that besides a few things:

1. @thedutchweedburger just posted an amazing article on their blog that to us says it all

2. we are not quite sure if we will be able to continue our friday posts during the coming period, but will do our best to offer easy and delicious plant based inspiration, maybe through our stories

3. because we see a lot of sadness on social media right now we thought this recipe might cheer you up a bit. Just because a smile can do so much for yourself, your body and the world around you.

We created these Pupcakes in service of @worldanimalprotectionnl and you can find the recipe via their website (link in bio) in Dutch. If you need English, Google is your friend ;-). These vegan puppy dogs are worth a translation.

Stay safe!

Maartje & Lisette
