Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 20 minutes

For the filling: Rinse the jackfruit with water and squeeze out the excess water. Dice the onions and chop the garlic. Sauté in a pan in neutral oil, add the cumin, paprika, and cinnamon, and roast briefly. Add the tomato paste, soy sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, a pinch of pepper, and the jackfruit; mix well until the jackfruit breaks down. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then add the beans and continue simmering for another 10 minutes, adding a little water if necessary, until the mixture is nice and creamy. For the oven-baked vegetables: Cut the carrots, sweet potato, parsnip, and zucchini into thin strips, and quarter the onions. Prepare a marinade from previously warmed coconut oil, chopped garlic, mustard, maple syrup, lime zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Marinate the vegetables in this for about 20 minutes. Then place on a baking sheet or in a casserole dish. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C (top/bottom heat) for approximately 30-40 minutes on the middle rack. For the Salsa Pico de Gallo: Dice the shallots and tomatoes, deseeding them if desired. Chop the cilantro. Mix everything in a bowl and season with lime juice and salt. For the guacamole: Pit the avocado and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Mash with a fork. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice. Moisten the tortillas with a little water and warm briefly in a pan or in the oven/microwave until soft. Fill with the jackfruit filling, baked vegetables, salsa, and guacamole, and serve.
