Between Meatless Mondays and Veganuary, vegan recipes are extremely popular this time of year, and especially vegan takes on meaty dishes. One of the recipes cooking up a storm on Pinterest is this one for vegan nachos with barbecue jackfruit, which made it to Pinterest's Top 100 for 2017 board.
If you haven't heard of it, jackfruit is a large fruit from southeast Asia which has become popular as a meat alternative. Once cooked, the fruit resembles something similar to pulled pork or chicken.
Worth a go, we reckon!
