Jackfruit Cakes with Canned Green Jackfruit

Step 1

First, open the can of jackfruit and drain the brine out. Then, place jackfruit in a colander and rinse it well. Then, using paper towels, vigorously pat dry the jackfruit and try to remove as much of the liquid from the chuncks of green jackfruit. Let jackfruit lay on paper towels for a bit.

Step 2

Then, place boiled potato in a bowl and, using a fork, mash it up.

Peel and finely chop the red onion and garlic and add them to the bowl with the potato.
