Sweet and Spicy Jackfruit Hand Pies

Hi, I really wantbyo try making these but I have no chance of finding oyster mushrooms or Sambar oelek here (french countryside)...could I use ordinary mushrooms and something like harissa instead?
Thanks

Hey Liza, we haven't tried but imagine you could to add a twist to the original recipe. Ordinary mushrooms will still bring a hearty texture, and harissa will add a flavorful kick similar to sambal oelek. You could also use sriracha or any other hot sauce in place of the sambal oelek. Let us know how it goes if you experiment with the hand pies 🤗

Should these be frozen before being baked, or after?

Hey Kourtney, we recommend freeing the hand pies after baking. I hope you enjoy them if you give the recipe a try!

I just tried these tonight and I plan to freeze them but we had to try one which then turned into two! They are so delicious and I will definitely be making them again. I didn't manage to get the full number of pies so I must have rolled out the dough too thickly. Next time I'll see if I can use shop-bought stuff just to see if this makes a difference.
10/10 though! Thank you.
