Jackfruit Smoky Jacket Sweet Potato Filling
Recipe
The combination of sweetness of the potato and smokiness of the filling is just a masterpiece, I swear! Also, if you haven’t tried jackfruit before – it has a texture similar to tuna.
So if you are craving a certain type of dish (like a tuna-mayo jacket potato) – this is much tastier, much healthier and much more sustainable… and do you know why? Because for every pound of fish caught, up to five pounds of unintended marine species (dolphins, turtles, sharks and other fish) are caught and discarded as by-kill. 🙁 Seriously, just have a jackfruit and nobody gets hurt.
