Main Dish: Jackfruit Coconut Curry

Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 25 min | Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

---

Instructions:

1. Prep the Jackfruit (optional but recommended):
Rinse the jackfruit well and cut off any hard core pieces. Use your hands or forks to shred it slightly for a pulled texture.

2. Sauté Onion & Spices:
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cumin, cooking until fragrant (about 1 more minute).

3. Simmer Curry:
Add shredded jackfruit and coconut milk. Stir well, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes (a bit longer than chickpeas to soften the jackfruit and let it absorb flavor). Stir occasionally and break jackfruit apart more as it cooks.

4. Finish with Spinach:
Add spinach and salt, stir until wilted (about 2 minutes). Adjust seasoning as needed and serve warm.
