Vegan Carnitas Bowl

By: Naomi Sherman

These jackfruit carnitas are really comparable in appearance and texture to pulled pork and have a scrumptious, deep, earthy flavour thanks to the marinade.

Ingredients

• 2 tins jackfruit, drainedpipes & approximately pulled apart with forks
• 2 tsp cumin
• 2 tsp salt
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic
• ½ tsp Mexican chilli
• 375mL bottle beer

Method

• Place the activeingredients into a big bowl and stir to integrate.
• Cover and marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a big oven tray.
• Drain the jackfruit and spread it out in a thin layer on your tray.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes. Finish off under a hot grill to get those charming, caramelised edges.
• Serve as a huge carnitas bowl with lettuce, spinach, tomato, cucumber, coriander, lime wedges and dairy-free sour cream.
