Amongst the bounty of fresh produce that comes into the Bambu Indah hotel kitchen daily are spiky orbs in brilliant lime green. These are unripe jackfruit, which have firm flesh that becomes pull-apart tender when cooked, rather like an artichoke. With this simplest treatment, the ladies in the kitchen transformed wedges of jackfruit into the most incredible charred and smoky steaks. This is a recipe waiting for the day when you can find the fruit fresh.
