pantry meal of the week

Pulled “Pork” Jackfruit Sandwiches

In this edition of my favorite weekly ritual, Pantry Meal of the Week, I dug pretty deep into the depths of my fridge and pantry. I had some leftover cabbage and radish slices from the Classic Pozole Rojo we devoured the other night, so I immediately thought of coleslaw. Because that’s a totally normal train of thought. I found a few remaining cans of jackfruit in the pantry from back when I was stocking up to make BBQ “Chicken” Jackfruit Pizza the other week, and decided to take them out for a swing.

As dinner was already set to be what I like to call a Pantry Meal of the Week (aka Amanda doesn’t feel like grocery shopping) what I had planned for dinner was already quite the compilation of miscellaneous food. I decided to serve everything on top of a heaping portion of brown rice to stretch out my ingredients and make sure that everyone was full and satisfied when they were done stuffing their faces….

These pancakes have changed my brunch game forever. I’ve always seen ricotta pancakes on menus at some of my favorite brunch places, but I’d never actually attempted to make them. I had a bunch of leftover ricotta from making a super duper quick Lasagna for my brother’s party a while back and I knew that if I didn’t use it soon I would have to simply throw it out, which I really didn’t want to have to do.
