INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare salsas, mix ingredients in serving containers and store in the fridge until ready to use. (NOTE: preparing salsas in advance will allow the flavours to mix and the onion will also become less pronounced)
Prepare all serving ingredients in advance as the recipe comes together quite quickly.
In a medium-size saucepan, heat oil, then add shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously. Add garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add spices and cocoa powder, cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant
Add pulled-jackfruit and cook for 5 minutes on medium-high.
Add chipotle peppers, adobo sauce and maple syrup, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat, serve immediately.
Enjoy!
