By This is by far one of the tastiest meals I’ve made!!! Every vegan needs to give it a try. If you’re planning to make it from the can, expect to cut of the core of the fruit. I recommend doing it before you start frying it.
Make sure it’s drained well before you start and start cutting out the core and removing out the seeds. It’s more work but this way you can add your own flavors and seasonings vs store bought already made.
