Spiced jackfruit patties

Jackfruit is an ideal ingredient to make vegan patties. It has a thick, almost meaty texture that lends itself to meatball or fishcake-like dishes. These spiced jackfruit patties were baked in the oven but you can fry or grill them if you prefer. You can serve them in a sandwich, flatbread, burger or with a salad and other side dishes of your choice. If you make them smaller, like small meatballs, they would be ideal as party nibbles!
