Young jackfruit is cooked with chili seasoning which has a spicy flavor then combined with melinjo leaves. Well interestingly this dish is very easy to make but has a very good taste. Well as we know young jackfruit is often a mainstay menu as a substitute for vegetable meat. In fact, there are so many amazingly delicious vegetable dishes processed from it. And I tried almost all of them can replace meat.

This shredded tewel preparation is indeed very popular in my area, usually it is processed using additional anchovies or other animal products. However, I wanted a delicious vegan-based flavor because I was curious about the taste even though it was processed with plant-based products.

Result

---

I am so happy that the tewel or young jackfruit cooked with melinjo leaves is ready to be served. This dish is spicy, if you don't like spicy I don't recommend you to try this recipe maybe even if you can you can compensate the use of non-spicy chili. Now this dish is very good eaten straight or even with a mixture of warm rice. In Indonesia itself this is a side dish to enjoy with rice during the day is very appropriate.

The savory, spicy, and natural sweetness of jackfruit and melijo leaves give it a spectacular taste. It's great to be able to enjoy this dish at home. And I am very grateful to have a kind neighbor who always gives me young jackfruit to cook whatever I like at home.
