Jackfruit, Tomato and Okra Slow Cooker Stew with Saffron Rice

This is loosely influenced by 'Bamya' a Turkish, North African and Middle Eastern okra stew. We've replaced the traditional meat with tinned jackfruit...that's full of fibre and easy to prepare. Rinse before cooking and with okra, look for firm, crunchy pods. The bendy ones are more slimey! Read more
