Hello, your recipe mentions “the oil” but there’s no measurement given for that. Thank you
Sorry, second question, do I shred the jackfruit or just cook the chunks as-is? Thank you.
Hi, just coer the bottom on the dutch oven with oil to sautee the onion then
at the end of cooking, you can give a smash to the jackfruit chunks with a wooden spoon to shred it its it’s too hard – but it should have become soft
