Ingredients

Fish Tacos

Fish Taco Sauce:

  • ¾ cup cashews raw
  • ¾ cup veggie broth
  • 1 small lime juiced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • a pinch cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste

Coleslaw

  • ¼ cup of the cashew cream from the Fish Taco Sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup canned or frozen corn drained and thawed
  • ¼ teaspoon jalapeño minced

Old Bay Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon celery salt
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch ground dry mustard
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground cardamom
  • 1 pinch ground allspice
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 1 pinch ground ginger

Instructions

  • Start draining the jackfruit and palm hearts. Remove the hard part of the jackfruit and discard it.
  • Chop the jackfruit and palm hearts with a fork. Finely dice the onion.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the palm hearts, jackfruit, onion, Old Bay seasoning, kelp powder, and lime or lemon juice until well mixed. Slowly add whole wheat flour.
  • Just add 1-2 tablespoons at a time until the dough comes together and you can shape fish fingers. If you want, you can bread the fish fingers or just leave them as they are.
  • Mix the cashew nuts and vegetable stock in a high speed mixer until super creamy. Measure 80 ml of this cream and set it aside.
  • Put the rest of the cream in a bowl and mix with the juice of a lime, garlic powder, cumin powder, paprika powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper powder and tomato paste until creamy. If desired, season with a little white pepper and apple cider vinegar.
  • For the coleslaw, cut the red cabbage into fine strips until you have a volume of about 500 ml cabbage (approx. ¼ cabbage).
  • Add the juice of 1 lime and the cashew cream that you set aside and massage the cabbage. Add 1 cup of corn, 1-2 tablespoons of freshly chopped coriander, and ¼ teaspoon of chopped jalapenos. Mix until everything is well mixed.
  • Now fry the fish fingers until they are brown.
  • To serve, heat the tortillas and fill them with fish fingers, coleslaw and sauce. Garnish with a little coriander, corn, onions, and avocado.
