The key to this recipe is the grilled jackfruit. I originally purchased a new grill because I don’t like heating the house up when I want oven roasted vegetables for my recipes when the weather is hot. Being a vegetarian and vegan blog, a lot of the recipes have vegetables. As it turns out, I use this grill for a lot more than vegetables. This is not a sponsored post, but this George Foreman Grill is the best I have ever used, and I have had grills for decades. (See it in Resources)
