Jackfruit curry with pineapple
March 3rd, 2018 | main dishes
Curry dishes, especially the traditional sailor’s curry, are not to be left out of our diet. Mostly a curry is cooked on chicken. Here I introduce a vegetarian alternative – for those who want to reduce their meat consumption. Ginger, garlic, poppy seed, cumin, turmeric, coconut milk and jackfruit. Pretty exotic, right?
Do you know jackfruit? They are grown in all tropical areas of the world. The young, immature fruit is used as a vegetable and is a contemporary alternative for those who value a conscious and meat-reduced diet. The fruit, which can weigh up to 30 kg in the ripe state, is full of ballast and minerals and, at 22 Kcal per 100 g, is a great, low-calorie base for our curry.
I am not a vegetarian and I do not believe in products advertised by names like “Tofu Schnitzel”, “Vegetarian Meatballs or Roast Sausages”. I do not need “as-if-products”. I like to eat vegetarian, but I also like to eat meat. What matters is where the meat comes from. I only buy meat from organic and regional breeding. And I try to reduce our meat consumption because we all eat too much meat. Jackfruit is a good alternative!
In Germany they don’t sell jackfruit at the weekly market. So where do you buy it from? Jacky F. is a young company that imports canned jackfruit from Sri Lanka. Founder Julia knows the farmers and producers personally. It ensures a transparent, fair and sustainable supply chain. Only the best organic ingredients are used without the addition of artificial flavors, preservatives and additives. At Jacky F. you can easily buy the jackfruit online and find all sorts of interesting facts about this versatile fruit.
Have fun cooking the jackfruit curry and even more fun while enjoying it!

This ginger-garlic paste is essential for many Indian dishes. I prepare it in greater quantity and freeze it. To do this I portion the paste in small handy packages of 1 to 1.5 TS in aluminum foil and pack them in a plastic box.

Pulpo á la Gallega or Pulpo á feira (carnival style) is the name of this artful, but simple dish that you can eat everywhere in the streets of Barcelona’s port area. A traditional dish, which uses dried Octopus on the big festivals. Anyhow, in the bars in the “Barrio Gótico” in Barcelona’s gothic quarter, cooked Octopus is used. Our favorite shore leave place in Barcelona is the tapas bar “Celta Pulpería“. Anyone who should believe the preparation of Pulpo á feira is difficult, definitely is wrong!

Venison in a different style: Not winterly with dark sauce and dumplings, but springlike barbecued. Spicy meadow hay and lime season the meat with a distinctive and fresh aroma. That’s how spring tastes!
