Jackfruit Tuno Melt

Amazing tuna-texture, extra dill-filled, and delicious...the bread even makes that butter toast “crunnnch” sound when you bite into it.

Ingredients
 

Instructions

  • Drain jackfruit in a strainer, and rinse under cold water for one minute (takes the sweetness away).
  • Separate jackfruit pods/seeds by hand and reserve for a later recipe. Cut out harder parts of jackfruit and reserve for later. (You want as much stringy, clumpy, soft texture as possible)
  • Re-rinse the separated jackfruit again one more time.
  • In a large bowl, add all wet ingredients except jackfruit. Whisk together. Add seasonings, fresh dill and onions, and stir together. Adjust taste to your preferred saltiness/acidity. Add jackfruit to mixture and fold it in.
  • Let marinate in fridge covered for 1 hr.
  • Butter white bread, add cheese on inside of both bread pieces, cover and slow grill the for approx 10 minutes until golden brown.
  • Add tuna on one side bread, and flip into a sandwich, Gently smash together to secure it, grill a little more.
  • Return to a plate, slice in half and enjoy!!
