Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.

Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.

To Store: In an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in a pot/pan over a low heat until piping hot or in the microwave. You may need to add some water to loosen the sauce.

To Freeze: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 2-3 months. Thaw and then reheat as stated above.

Tip 1: Cooking it, frying it, and then baking it helps the jackfruit to be the perfect texture. Make sure to get each step!

Tip 2: Even if you want to use gyros or other meat, I definitely recommend my Flatbread and Tzatziki sauce with it!

Tip 3: Consider batch cooking this delicious jackfruit sauce and using it in pastas, tacos, sandwiches, etc over the next few days (or months if you freeze it!)
