Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup Jackfruit boiled and shredded
- 1 Bell Peppers julienned
- 1 Onion chopped, medium
- 1/2 cup Cucumber julienned
- 1 tsp Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 1 tbsp Coconut Milk
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Frankie
- 2 Flatbreads
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Seasoning
- 1 tsp Oregano dried
- 1 tsp Pepper Flakes red
For Serving
- Parchment Paper for wrapping
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables. Julienne the bell pepper and cucumber. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Shred the boiled jackfruit using two forks or your fingers. This helps create a texture similar to pulled meat.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and slightly translucent.
- Add the shredded jackfruit, tomato paste, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Cook the jackfruit mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the flavors have melded. Add the dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Lightly brush both sides of each flatbread with olive oil. Heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast each flatbread for a few seconds per side, until warm and pliable.
- Place a warm flatbread on a piece of parchment paper. Spoon a generous portion of the jackfruit filling onto the center of the flatbread.
- Top with the julienned cucumber. Fold the sides of the flatbread inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom. Wrap the frankie in the parchment paper to secure it.
- Serve the jackfruit frankies whole or cut in half. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- This dish can be enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack.
- It's perfect for packing in a lunchbox.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of chaat masala to the shredded jackfruit before assembling.
- If you like a crispier filling, briefly pan-fry the cooked jackfruit mixture until slightly browned.
- Make a gluten-free version by using gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
- Prevent sogginess by patting the cucumber and onion slices dry before adding them to the wrap.
Expert Tips
- Customize your Franky with other fillings like chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, or different chutneys.
- For a richer flavor, add a dollop of cream cheese or a sprinkle of grated cheese to the filling.
- Warm the wraps briefly on a griddle or in a pan for a softer, more pliable texture.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover Franky in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It's best enjoyed fresh, as the wrap may become soggy over time.
