Method
- Finely slice the spring onion/scallion leaves and place them to one side.
- Rinse and drain the jackfruit. Slice off the hard cores (solid white pieces) and finely chop. Gently pull apart the stringy jackfruit pieces (you can use a couple of forks to do this).
- Place a frypan over medium heat. Add the garlic infused oil, smoked paprika, cumin, ground coriander, and chilli paste (if using). Fry the spices for 30 seconds - 1 minute until fragrant. Then stir through the jackfruit, tomato paste, and brown sugar. Season heavily with salt and pepper and fry for 3 minutes. Add the water and mix well, turn down the heat to medium-low, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes until reduced. If, at any point, the jackfruit starts looking dry, add another couple of tablespoons of water.
- While the jackfruit mix simmers, prepare the taco fillers. Wash and shred the lettuce leaves, finely slice the red cabbage, finely chop the fresh coriander/cilantro, peel and slice the cucumber, cut the lime into wedges, and slice the avocado (measure out your low FODMAP serve). Squeeze a little lime juice over the avocado to stop it from browning.
- Once the jackfruit mixture has reduced, stir through the sliced spring onion/scallion. Transfer the jackfruit mix to a shallow roasting pan and grill/broil under the oven grill for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly crispy.
- Serve the taco jackfruit in your favourite tortilla wraps along with the lettuce, red cabbage, cucumber, and sliced avocado. Top the tacos with a squeeze of lime juice, a dollop of sour cream (if using), and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro/coriander. This recipe should make two tacos per person.
Buying Tips
Buy corn tortillas that do not contain wheat flour or other high FODMAP ingredients like inulin (chicory root fibre).
To save your budget you can buy normal tortillas for any family members who do not need to be low FODMAP or gluten free.
Garlic infused oil is normally found in the oil section of your local supermarket or you can buy it online. It should be clear with no floating bits of garlic.
You can also make garlic infused oil at home by frying garlic cloves in cooking oil until they are golden and fragrant, then remove and discard the garlic before you continue cooking your meal. This is a low FODMAP way to capture the garlic flavour as the fructans can't leach into the oil.
Buy a bunch of spring onions/scallions with long green leaves. You can use the green leaves in your low FODMAP meals, just make sure you avoid using the white stem and lime green stems as these are high FODMAP. Once you've harvested the leaves pop the spring onion/scallion bulbs into a glass of water on the window sill. The leaves will reshoot so you can harvest them again.
Crushed/pureed red chilli is just fresh red chilli that has been pureed into a paste (usually with a bit of salt and a preservative). Often you can find it in jars in the supermarket. If you can't find it, then you can replace it in the recipe using finely chopped mild red chilli.
Small amounts of avocado are low FODMAP. Just make sure you limit your serving to a 2 tablespoon serve (30g/1.06oz).
Gluten Free Tips
Herbs and spices are naturally gluten free, however they can become contaminated during manufacturing processes. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check the dried herbs and spices do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check all packaged products, processed meat (like bacon), nuts, seeds and dried fruit do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
