Method

  1. 1

    Heat a little oil in a pot, add the jackfruit, breaking up the pieces with a spoon, and the bbq sauce, and cook for 15-18 minutes, stirring, until it has soaked up the sauce and started to crisp at the edges.

    Cook the macaroni according to the pack instructions, then drain.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a separate pan, stir in the plain flour, then whisk in the whole milk and simmer until thick. Stir in the mature cheddar until melted.

  4. 4

    Combine the macaroni, cheese sauce and bbq jackfruit.

  5. 5

    Serve hot.
