Vegan rendang with jackfruit according to traditional Indonesian family recipe <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rendang is one of my favourite dishes of an Indian rice table. Delicious. Only, of course, it is made with beef. And of that, we know it is the most taxing meat for the planet<\/a>. To stop climate change, we all need to eat drastically less meat and especially cut out beef more often. But yes, my beloved rendang then? I decided to use my favourite cookbook Authentic Indian cuisine<\/a><\/em> there and to make this classic recipe with a modern twist. No beef, but jackfruit. A vegan rendang, in other words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rendang stew<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rendang has its origins in the Minangkabau culture in Sumatra. It is a slowly simmered meat dish, often prepared with beef, characterised by its deep, spicy flavours and tenderness. The coconut milk and a rich mix of spices such as coriander, cumin, cloves and lemongrass create a special flavour combination. What makes rendang so special is the time-consuming cooking process, which intensifies the flavours and makes the meat - or jackfruit in this case - deliciously tender. The dish is often made for special occasions such as celebrations and ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackfruit is the perfect meat substitute for stews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A classic dish that I am giving a modern twist with this recipe. Why jackfruit you may ask. Jackfruit has little flavour, but its stringy texture is very similar to beef and absorbs flavours perfectly. This makes it a good meat substitute for stews, for rendang that is. In restaurants and at food trucks, I like to taste it when vegang rendang with jackfruit is on the menu. What I often notice is that the jackfruit can make the rendang a bit (too) sour. Too bad! But good news: this recipe does not have the sourness. Hence, I dare say: \u2018you've never tasted it this good\u2019. Want to know more about jackfruit?
