Captain Kofis Candlelight Catfish Recipes

THE CAPTAIN JACK

Steps:

• For the jackfruit: Drain cans of jack fruit and pull apart the fruit. Squeeze out and discard the seeds inside (only the seed pods are usable). Mix seed pods together in a bowl with Jalapeno Blackberry BBQ Sauce, cumin, garlic powder and pepper.
• For the sandwich: Preheat a griddle to about 375 degrees F.
• Place four 4-ounce scoops jack fruit mixture on the griddle and heat until just a bit caramelized, then flip and cook the other side, about 3 minutes total. Toast buns and sauce one side with Vegan Chipotle Mayo and the other with Jalapeno Blackberry BBQ Sauce. Place a jack fruit patty on each bun and add some coleslaw, pickles and onions to each.
• Combine vinegar, molasses, fruit spread, agave nectar, soy sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, onion powder, oil, liquid smoke, lemon juice, mustard, paprika, pepper, cumin, salt, cayenne and jalapeno in a saucepan and whisk together. Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• Place the soy milk in a food processor, then turn it on low speed. Slowly drizzle in the oil and blend. Pour mixture into a mixing bowl, then whisk in the pureed chipotle, mustard, vinegar, pepper, salt and sriracha until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
