- Drain the jackfruit and put it into a food processor. Add the garlic, sundried tomatoes, dill, spring onions and tomato purée. Season with salt and pepper.

- Meanwhile, prepare your condiments, salads, toppings and buns for the burgers.
- When you’re ready to cook the patties, form about 6 or 8 equal sized balls from the mixture, then flatten these between your palms.
- Put the patties onto a lined baking sheet and bake in a hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden, or fry them in a pan over medium heat for five minutes or so, until golden.
- Assemble the burgers with your chosen buns,toppings and condiments.
