Method

  1. Decide the cooking method: Both the jackfruit and the flat breads can be cooked in a regular oven, on the hob, or for a smokier flavour, on the barbecue or in a pizza oven. The temperature should always be around 150°C so make sure to keep an eye on that if using the last two options.
  2. To make the pulled jackfruit: In a large bowl, add brown sugar, salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, chipotle paste and combine well. Add the drained jackfruit and toss all the ingredients together. Cover the bowl in cling film and place in the fridge.
  3. Place the marinated jackfruit in a casserole dish. Add the vegetable stock, stir and cover with a lid or tightly cover with tin foil. Place it in the oven or on the barbecue for 40 minutes. If using a barbecue or pizza oven, make sure during the cooking that the temperature stays around 150°C. If during the cooking it looks too dry, add a small amount of stock.
  4. To make the flat breads: In a large mixing bowl, add the two types of flour, spirulina and salt. In a measuring jug, combine the warm water and rapeseed oil. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, while combining with your hand. A food processor can also be used for this.
  5. Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes, until smooth. Wrap the dough in cling film and set aside.
  6. To make the coleslaw: Combine all the vegetables and fruits in a mixing bowl, add the vinegar and salt and leave for 5 minutes. Add the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, mix well. Cover with cling film and set aside in the fridge.
  7. Remove the jackfruit from the oven, which will be now fully cooked. Shred the jackfruit into strips using two forks.
  8. To make the wraps: Unwrap the dough and cut it in 4 pieces. Start flattening a quarter on a floured surface, using a rolling pin stretch it until it is 1mm thin and about 25cm in diameter. Repeat the process with the other 3 dough pieces.
  9. If using the hot oven, add the flat breads, one by one, and flip them over after around 4 minutes. Cook for a further 4 minutes. If using the hob, place the flatbreads in a dry frying pan over a high heat and cook on both sides for 4 minutes.
  10. To assemble the wraps: On a plate, place your flatbread add the beans, jackfruit, coleslaw, some watercress or cress and a sprinkle of toasted sunflower seeds. Roll up the wraps tightly to finish.
