A rich, aromatic Indonesian-inspired dish featuring tender jackfruit in a spiced coconut sauce, perfect for serving with rice.

Ingredients:

  • For the rendang:

    • 1 can young jackfruit, drained and rinsed
    • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
    • 200ml coconut milk
    • 1 stalk lemongrass, lightly crushed
    • 50g coconut cream
    • 5cm galangal root, peeled
    • 1 package rendang bumbu (pre-made spice mixture): coriander seeds, cumin seeds, sugar, turmeric, fennel seeds, chillies, black pepper, lime leaves
  • For the spice paste:

    • 4cm ginger, peeled
    • 2 shallots, peeled
    • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • To serve:

    • Rice

Method:

  1. Prepare the spice paste:
    Blend the ginger, shallots, and garlic in a food processor until smooth.

  2. Cook the spice paste:
    Heat the vegetable oil in the Cooking Bowl over medium heat until shimmering. Gently fry the spice paste for a few minutes until fragrant.

  3. Build the base:
    Add the coconut milk, crushed lemongrass, and galangal to the Cooking Bowl. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook gently for 5 minutes.

  4. Add the jackfruit:
    Stir the jackfruit into the coconut mixture and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the rendang bumbu and stir thoroughly. Cook for another 10 minutes, or until the jackfruit has absorbed all the flavours.

  5. Finish and serve:
    Remove the galangal and lemongrass before serving. Serve hot with rice.
