Jackfruit rice burger carpacchio

A Big Jack, please!
The triumph of the hamburger began in the USA and has long been adopted in Asia, where the quintessentially American minced meat roll is mutating and adapting more and more to Far Eastern tastes.
Our vegan Jackfruit Rice Burger closes the circle: It brings the taste of East and West together by imitating the consistency and juiciness of minced meat in an incomparably new way and combining it with exotic spices . This tasty vegetable patty has an Asian-spicy note and consists of jackfruit pulp, red kidney beans and basmati rice.
Whether with or without a bun: if you serve the organic patty with spicy fermented kimchi vegetables, crunchy herbs and sprouts, the Big Jack becomes the authentic Asian taste experience that is called umami.

1 red onion
20 grated Parmesan (or vegan cheese)

3 tbsp ketchup

for the oven-roasted cocktail tomatoes:

100 g cocktail tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon vanilla sugar
Salt
pepper

Preparation:

For the oven tomatoes, halve the tomatoes and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper with the flesh facing up. Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper and vanilla sugar and drizzle with the oil.
Roast or dry at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Place a pan on the stove with a little oil. Cut the burger patties into finger-thick strips and fry until crispy on both sides. Then keep warm in the oven at 100 degrees in a fireproof dish.
Now make a creamy sauce from the dressing ingredients. Take a plate and use a spoon to spread 1-2 tablespoons of dressing in fine lines. Tear the lettuce leaves and distribute them irregularly on the plate. Then distribute the fried burger patty strips. Arrange the roasted cocktail tomatoes evenly on the plate.
Now cut the red onion into fine rings and distribute them as well. Spread the remaining dressing over the carpaccio and garnish with fried onions and parmesan. Bon appetit!

More about jackfruit:

By the way: The Japanese were the first to describe a fifth flavor in addition to the four flavors sweet, sour, salty and bitter: Umami - which means hearty and tasty. Umami is associated with protein-rich foods such as meat and fish, but also cheese, mushrooms or soy sauce. Although Japanese scientists described this sense of taste at the beginning of the last century, US scientists only discovered the corresponding receptors on the tongue in 2000. Hardly any other fruit comes as close to the feeling of meat as the unripe jackfruit. The so-called “poor man's fruit” is widespread in the tropics, but has rarely been cultivated in a structured manner and is usually only used for personal use. Their excellent properties as a meat alternative have caused the demand for jackfruits to explode. We source our jackfruit from India, from the region around Karnataka, where we have been building an environmentally friendly and socially responsible supply chain with small farmers since 2019 to promote the organically certified cultivation of jackfruit. This development project is supported and implemented by the German Investment and Development Company (DEG) and an agricultural foundation in Bangalore.
