MAKE THE CONSOMÉ:

6. Blend until liquified
7. Reserve 1 cup of the Salsa and set it to the side**

COOK THE JACKFRUIT:

2. Place the meat in a strainer and rinse thoroughly
3. Heat a pan with 2 TBSP of oil on medium heat
4. Once the pan is hot, add the Jackfruit
5. Add 1 TBSP of each of the herbs and ½ TBSP of salt or more depending on your taste
6. Sauté for 15 minutes or until the Jackfruit starts to brown
7. Slowly pour the 1 cup of reserved Salsa you set aside into the pan*
8. Sauté for 10 more minutes or until Jackfuit begins to crisp
9. Add your Jackfruit to the Consomé
10. Simmer 15 minutes, add salt if needed
