Instructions

Step 1

First whisk all ingredients for the sauce in a bowl until combined. Add in jackfruit and allow to marinate.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the couscous, cover the pan, and remove it from the heat. Let it stand for about 10 minutes, allowing the couscous to absorb the water fully.

Step 3

While the couscous is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped jackfruit and sauté for about 5 minutes until it begins to brown slightly.

Step 4

Once the couscous is ready, fluff it with a fork. Add the cooked jackfruit, lemon juice, cherry tomatoes, fresh mint, chopped almonds and dried cranberries. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Step 5

Transfer to a serving bowl. If desired, sprinkle feta cheese crumbles on top for an extra touch of creaminess and saltiness, as well as some sliced red chilli for some spice.
