The Ultimate Vegan Kebabs

Here’s a super tasty kebab recipe with three main components: spiced jackfruit, garlic mayo, and an easy-to-make chilli sauce. Our friend Marty, AKA the king of kebabs, always says a good kebab should drip all over you because it's so full of sauces and flavour! This is a wonderful kebab where we use jackfruit to give a real bite, along with an easy-to-make chilli sauce and garlic mayo. It makes a wonderful lunch or delicious dinner.
