EPIC VEGAN KEBAB | THE HAPPY PEAR

[@RahulsVeganCooking]

Man, you guys are on a roll lately with these recipes. Better then stuff you find at many restaurants. vegan grill cheese, millionaire squares, vegan kebab. I never even thought of a vegan kebab. looks so good. love the channel, love the guest.

[@thehappypear]

I think we naturally went into comfort food mode now that the seasons are chancing. :D

[@HuusHuus-zc2zl]

A vegan kebab to me would be big chunks of onion, Jalapeño peppers, mushrooms and marinated tandoori spiced tofu on a skewer oh tomatoes too. Served with basmati rice and lime wedges.

[@deeperthanthedeepest]

For the last 30 seconds or so Marty was just eyeing that kebab, just eager to get another bite in haha. Loved it! Great video and recipe guys!

[@Tracieonthego]

Made this for supper tonight. It was a big hit. I can't get over that creamy garlic sauce. I've never made anything like it before. Magic!

[@thehappypear]

Wow you're quick off the mark Tracie! 😘🙌😄

[@sarahjanefinet]

Just made this recipe and it is truly epic!! The whole family loved it... Bought Jackfruit online in bulk... very useful for many dishes... keep it coming lads! loving your channel!

[@FTF-hs5ll]

Couldn't get jackfruit so I used Oyster mushrooms and tempeh. Can't compare to what it would have been like with jackfruit but it was an amazing meal and I'm looking forward to your new book coming out in 2018, thanks!

[@thehappypear]

Super stuff! We can't wait! 😄👍🙌

[@edus82]

Loving the interactions! Loads of fun and mouth watering 💚💚💚

[@thehappypear]

Absolutely! 👌

[@ruthannamarteifio2956]

Looks great! Here in U.S. a kebab is bite-size pieces of tofu(?), and vegs like toms, onions, bell peppers, etc., put on a small stick and cooked over a grill---- Also, you can use fruit----pineapple, peaches, etc.

[@Bianca-pw5cn]

10:48 Steve really wanted to take another bite, but he had to keep talking as Dave wasn’t there to finish it off 😂😂😂

[@tinagirton7761]

Looks absolutely delicious as always! Can't wait to make them! But we call these tacos in the U.S. and it's a wrap if it's put in a tortilla shell. I think it's so interesting the difference in language. So cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@bevllewellyn8799]

Oh my actual dog! Can't wait to try this when I'm back from holidays. Rock in' recipes of utter deliciousness . Thaaasssnk youuu

[@thehappypear]

It'll rock your world 😄😘🙌

[@vedranaz]

I seriously need to stop watching your recipes on an empty stomach. Mouthwatering! And I don't have the ingredients to make it, as usual. Darn you, jackfruit (and chillies, and apple juice.....)! Jotting down a shopping list! :D

[@thehappypear]

Do it!!! 😄😋👍

[@datbish5]

Haha awesome video, watched it with a smile on my face the entire time. Vegan kebab, never thought of making one! Would love to try this one out.

[@thehappypear]

Thrilled you enjoyed! Definitely try it out you'll love it 😄😘🙌

[@thepianistcooks3776]

I am going crazy with your channel. Your recipes are easier to do. Thanks for sharing! I like Marty's reaction everytime he tastes your cooking! Love your videos!!! Actually I am turning to be vegan slowly but surely become pure vegan in the furure. You are good in motivating people! Very encouraging! Love your stuff!

[@soulsearcher1977]

I love your videos guys - you're providing a very valuable service... I'm currently avoiding oils in my diet to heal a cholesterol problem I have. Do you think the garlic sauce would work without the sunflower oil? Could I substitute the oil for something whole to achieve a suspension like consistency???

[@thehappypear]

We haven't tried it with anything else- the oil is needed for the consistency! 😄👍🙌

[@daniellebarker7667]

Couldn't it also be done in a cashew sauce fo the thickness?!

[@normalwaysplayerone2894]

I made this today and it was absolutely brilliant. Great recipe for the chilli sauce, it really makes the kebab pop. We only used about half of it and put the rest in the fridge for a tasty dip :)

[@coraliesalvon4266]

Looks good! Do you think we could make it with mushrooms? It think it could be tasty.

[@thehappypear]

Sure you could! 😄😘🙌

[@maythecatbewithyou]

If you roast big oyster mushrooms you can sort of pull them apart afterwards using a fork (scraping motion) before panfrying them like the jackfruit in this video, that way they are sort of like pulled pork but also really similar to the kebab meat!

[@Ella-jk7rq]

He says Marty so often! It's like when Rick says Morty at the end of every sentence 😋

[@thehappypear]

😂😂😂

[@Ella-jk7rq]

The Happy Pear 😁 hi! I love your first recipe book by the way! Hopefully going to make some things soon! :)

[@raytheconsolepleb2893]

Exactly! 😂

[@IvanIV05]

The sauces look nice. I see a lot of roasted garlic in recipes, I'll have to try it soon.

[@sandismith9780]

Roasting veggies brings out the most amazing flavor with little added to them - carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, mushrooms, eggplant, onions, okra the list goes on and on and on

[@thehappypear]

It's a great one to keep in a jar in the fridge as it does take a while to make.

[@tara9389]

I can't find jackfruit anywhere in the asian stores where I live. Do Supervalu or Dunnes stores have it, or is there an alternative to jackfruit?

[@Femzelf]

Maybe buy it online?

[@thehappypear]

Mushrooms are a good substitute. If you can get oyster mushrooms from a local veg shop.

[@ndimoro]

Trader Joes also sells jackfruit!

[@ianwynne5483]

I don't know where you live but all the Chinese supermarkets in tallaght have it and the mature jackfruit for dessert also the Indian market in stillorgan has it.

[@Gutwrencher666]

amazon!

[@ankitrajojha]

Awesome video! Jackfruit or Katahal (in Hindi) is being grown and consumed in India for centuries (i guess). We call it "meat for Hindus".

[@thehappypear]

Amazing that it was always a substitute. Hope you're healthy and happy! Have a great weekend.

[@ankitrajojha]

@@thehappypear Appreciate the reply! Would love to see you cook some Sātvik food. It is food recommended in Yogic literature i.e. food that's in sync with nature and calms the body and mind. P.S. Ignore if you've already made videos on it.

[@elizabethshaw734]

I lived in the UK for 15 years and also spent time in Ireland. I know kebab with two sauces so this better be good because every now and then I miss them! In the UK for 15 years and also spent time in Ireland I know kabob with two sauces so this better be good because every now and then I miss them! I use tahini a base for my garlic sauce with a ton of fresh crushed garlic but I never knew what the base was. I also add lemon juice and a couple of other things to the garlic sauce. I remember right down the road there was a chippy and they sold Kebab meat sandwiches on a round like a hamburger bun covered in garlic sauce I ate at least two a week I could just take a bath in the garlic sauce from anywhere! I think I would use soy curls over jackfruit. I think I would use soy curls over Jack fruit. Whenever I got a takeaway kebab I won't say how much they weighed but they had bread on the top and bottom in the Box.

[@robertan.2491]

I've had this on my ’to try’ list forever, and finally made them today. They were sooo delicious!! When I tasted the cooked jackfruit on it's own, it seemed too sweet and not meatlike at all, a little tip - definitely slice it in tiny peaces so the moisture evaporates better. But the final product was super yummy, it all blended so well together, it reminded me of the kebabs I used to eat back in my country, which is odd because those were in a wrap, not pitta, contained lots of cabbage and completely different ingredients. 😆 the garlic sauce was probably what sealed the deal. I don't use soy milk so I made my own version with greek yogurt and mayo. The chilli sauce though... 🥵🥵🥵🌶🌶🌶🔥🔥🔥 BE WARNED!! I gasped when I saw they put 6 whole chillies, I used 4 smaller ones and it still made my mouth burn!! And I only added some to jackfruit mix, no extra on finished kebab. You guys are crazy xD

[@urzak4203]

Attempting these tonight. Made the sauces last night to save time. Have to say the hardest part of this recipe so far has been locating the bloody jackfruit. Mission accomplished.

[@thehappypear]

Ah let us know how your mission went! 😄🙌🙌

[@urzak4203]

Went perfect. Made 4 and the wife and I finished them off in quick order. I might have to look into a different brand of Soy Milk though. Even though I got unsweetened, I could still taste it over the garlic. Not bad, just sweeter than expected. Cheers, mates!

[@kosmatova3325]

They gobbled it down like true pros.

[@thehappypear]

We are the PROS!!!! 😄😘🙌

[@lisasanders8704]

YUM!!! I have never heard of this type of sandwhich but i can surely make it! Can't wait to try it!

[@editnagy7763]

How long you can keep the sauces in the fridge?

[@thehappypear]

Maybe a week in a sealed container.

[@majellabutler3978]

Hey guys, have both your books and love your food!! The kebabs were tasty!!! Just wondering if you have any suggestions of what to do with left over garlic and chilli sauce..., how long they will last and can they be frozen? Thanks😊

[@thehappypear]

Perfect as a sauce for just about anything! They'll last about a week in a sealed container in the fridge and longer frozen! 😘😄👍

[@farlcow]

The sauces in this video are AMAZING! Have been using the leftovers in all sorts of other dishes. I can't seem to find jackfruit in my area, but tofu worked really well as a substitute.

[@thehappypear]

Ah you're brilliant Mark! Keep up the fab work! 😄🙌

[@EditCstheog]

I've got to try this. I loved kebab and lucky me has a can of Jack in the cupboard. Yess!! How long can I keep the sauces in the fridge?

[@thehappypear]

Up to a week in a sealed container 😄👍

[@elizabethshaw734]

I lived in the UK for more than 10 years and I would have killed for a regular kebab a number of years ago. I hope this one is good because I will eat it 3 times a week! The places I went to only had the red sauce and the garlic sauce the white garlic sauce that I could have eaten the entire bowl of.

[@thehappypear]

You will eat it every day! 😘🙌😄

[@IyeBako]

I never thought of making a kebab with jackfruit! My God you're genious! Thanks for this recipe!

[@thehappypear]

It's just DEADLY!! 😍😋👌

[@kitty5872]

Hiii it luks so convincingly good I cud go vegetarian, have a question I don't use mustard in my cooking I once tried it and it ws so Bitter, if I try it again. And use it will my garlic sauce taste bitter? If so please is there alternative to this mustard I can thanks

[@thehappypear]

It doesn't make it bitter but you can just leave it out if you'd prefer 😄👍

[@Jalfred92]

I made this with shredded oyster mushrooms and it was great! My only criticism is I have no idea why anyone would need 400ml of mayo, next time I will use commercial mayo and add roasted garlic.

[@FruitIsland]

Best cooking show on the tube!

[@thehappypear]

Thanks so much!! Love to hear it.

[@Rebecca91K]

Oh my gosh! I was in Happy Pear in Greystones today and I heard Marty’s voice :) couldn’t believe it! :) haha! Bit star struck! :-P haha! :) very cool :) such a nice guy :) twas a pleasure to meet him :) ya never know, might get a picture with him next time :-P haha! :)

[@annakta88]

After watching this video I desperately want to eat this kebab :p does someone knows where is the best place to order jack online? As any of the normal stores sell it

[@thehappypear]

Try asian supermarkets or amazon 😄🙌👍

[@xoxo0224]

Looks delish, can't wait to try it but I don't think that's jackfruit, that's breadfruit is't it? It sure looks like what my grandma grew back in her garden.. Jackfruit has larger seeds and larger pods.

[@thehappypear]

We couldn't be too sure but we just go by whats on the tin, haha. The seeds are pretty big compared to some Irish fruits.

[@xoxo0224]

Hahaha! Hmm weird, almost 99% sure it's breadfruit. Also, try braising it in coconut milk and chillies. It's a filipino dish called Bicol express (originally made with crab) but with that it tastes soooooo much better. :D

[@tabathariggs5751]

What type of chili peppers do you use?

[@sudarshanarvind3727]

How long would the sauces keep in the fridge? Great recipe btw

[@thehappypear]

About a week in a sealed container 😘😄👍

[@HighCarbVeganAdventurer]

ooh god the guy just couldn't wait to grab it from your hands at the end. He is like enough rambling let's chow it down hahaha

[@itsbillz09]

How many ml is the jack fruit that you used?

[@Serenity78553]

Amazing chilli sauce, so tasty only used 3 chillies,that was plenty hot for me.

[@thehappypear]

Ah good on ya Henri! 😄🙌👍

[@syirrus]

I'm allergic to soy. Can you use another type of milk like almond?

[@bojanbozinovski1415]

I think the soy milk is not neccessary- the garlic itself is creamy when mixed, but I like it otherwise. And I love the fact that you use jackfruit instead of tofu (y)

[@Ev1LAngeLXIII]

Stobbit with the Roasted Garlic... Delicious

[@TheDevilDarling]

I like Marty, i hope he's in more videos! Great recipe but i might use mushrooms instead of jackfruit, hopefully it still works.

[@thehappypear]

It'll be just as nice with mushrooms. You can never go wrong with them. :D

[@maythecatbewithyou]

If you roast big oyster mushrooms you can sort of pull them apart afterwards using a fork (scraping motion) before panfrying them like the jackfruit in this video, that way they are sort of like pulled pork but also really similar to the kebab meat!

[@TheDevilDarling]

maythecatbewithyou I will definitely try that, thanks for the tip! :)

[@palecompass3598]

Good idea. I love mushrooms and have never been a fan of using jackfruit for meat. Jackfruit is one of the sweetest things I've ever eaten -- at least when it's fresh. It tastes like bubble gum.

[@phreak074]

@@palecompass3598 I agree with you on it's taste raw anyway... but i've had it fried like chips, and it's like a hearty fry, and cooked it wasn't really sweet... it does a good job of taking on the flavor you give it... I'm not a fan of it raw though, I would describe it as stinky sweet... lol

[@sail0rhime]

Looks amazing as always, can't wait to try this one! Thank you for all the gluten free "meat" recipes you do!!

[@thehappypear]

Glad you're enjoying them!! 😄😘🙌

[@purringinmyear]

Just curious - why do you put oil in a non stick pan?

[@pearlgrantmuiznieks1200]

Trying that one tonight! Looks amazing!

[@thehappypear]

Hope you enjoyed! 😄👍🙌

[@angharad.9743]

Our Dijon mustard is brown at home because of the kind of mustard seeds. I thought all Dijon was made with the same seeds so how come yours was bright yellow was it just the light

[@thehappypear]

Nope it's yellow alright! 😄

[@elizabethshaw734]

There is possibly or something green of the herb Variety in the garlic sauce usually. There is no mustard in it but it's looking good. Okay I'm going to try making this! Do you think Jackfruit is preferable to seitan homemade? Get black pepper and Seasonings into that jackfruit. You're making me nervous.

[@thehappypear]

Do whatever appeals best to you 😘🙌😄

[@DannyOShea94]

I made a vegan donner kebab with The Happy Pear seitan recipe and it was amazing. My non vegan friends loved it!

[@thehappypear]

Amazing Danny! Thanks so much for letting us know. It's always nice to know the recipes are getting put to the test. :D

Horseradish garlic sauce I just blurted that out didn't I. Or garlicky horseradish sauce One of these days I'm going to fix this kabob. Sounds too good not to. And throw some seitan on it also. But I'm gonna line the pita with garlicky horseradish sauce
