Preparation
- Mix all the ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl. Add the jackfruit and shake well. Cover the bowl and leave for about 1 hour.
- For the sauce, stir together all the ingredients. If necessary, add some lukewarm water if the sauce is too thick. You can serve the sauce cold or heat it in a saucepan just before serving.
- Cut the cucumbers lengthways into quarters. Sprinkle with the salt and leave in a colander for 20 minutes. Rinse the cucumbers and pat them dry with a clean tea towel. Mix the cucumbers with the chilli oil and vinegar.
- String the pieces of jackfruit to skewers. Grill the skewers on a hot barbecue or in a grill pan for about 2 minutes per side. Grill the flatbread briefly, too. Place the skewers on a platter and spoon the (possibly heated) sauce over them. Sprinkle with the spring onion, coriander and green pepper. Add the flatbread and cucumbers.
