Ingredients

• 500 grams young jackfruit, fresh or canned
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 red chili, sliced
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons ginger, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 100 grams fresh spinach leaves

Directions

Step 1

If using canned young jackfruit, drain and rinse thoroughly to remove any brine. Cut into bite-sized pieces if necessary.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and sliced ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the young jackfruit to the pan and stir well to combine with the aromatics. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Add the fish sauce, sliced red chili, green bell pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the jackfruit is tender and takes on the flavors of the dish.

Step 8

Add the fresh spinach leaves to the pan, gently mixing them into the coconut milk sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with additional red chili slices if desired, alongside steamed or cauliflower rice to keep it low carb.
