Ingredients
- 2 cans jackfruit pieces, drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 brown onion, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika ground

- 2-3 tbsp Mad Dog Xtra Bite BBQ Sauce
- Juice of 1 orange
- 1 tsp salt flakes (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
- Drain and rinse the jackfruit pieces in a colander or sieve. Roughly pull apart the pieces into smaller chunks and leave in the colander or sieve to drain well whilst preparing other ingredients.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil with the onion slices and pan fry for 8-10 minutes or until the onion has softened and started to brown.
- Add in the tomato paste, sweet paprika and cumin, and pan fry for another minute before adding in the drained jackfruit chunks and the additional tbsp olive oil.
- Pan fry for another 3-4 minutes then stir in the Mad Dog Spicy BBQ Sauce, orange juice, salt, smoked paprika and maple syrup.
- Fry for another 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly to ensure all the ingredients are hot and well combined.
- Place the jackfruit in a serving bowl and serve hot alongside warmed tortillas, sour cream or slices of avocado, thinly sliced red cabbage dressed with a squeeze of lime, fresh coriander, pickled jalapeno slices and extra Mad Dog Spicy BBQ Sauce for drizzling.
