- 400 grams Canned young green jackfruit (drained and rinsed)
- 240 milliliters Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 grams Sunflower seed butter (unsweetened)

- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (for sauce)
- 10 pieces Skewers (bamboo or metal)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned young green jackfruit. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel and shred it into smaller pieces using your fingers or a fork.
In a large mixing bowl, create the marinade by combining the coconut milk, lime juice, maple syrup, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the shredded jackfruit to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and let the jackfruit marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
While the jackfruit marinates, prepare the sunflower seed butter dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the sunflower seed butter, hot water, grated fresh ginger, maple syrup, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Thread the marinated jackfruit onto the skewers, gently pressing it into compact pieces for easy grilling.
Grease the grill lightly with oil to prevent sticking, then place the satay sticks on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the edges are slightly charred and crispy.
Remove the satay sticks from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Serve the soy-free vegan satay sticks warm with the sunflower seed butter dipping sauce on the side.
