Ingredients
 

Instructions
 

  • Wash the jackfruit thoroughly under running water and drain well. This helps to reduce the somewhat sour taste of young jackfruit.
  • Heat a large pot with 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the jackfruit and cook for 3 minutes on medium heat, stirring constantly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the flour and mix until covered. Take the jackfruit out of the pot and set aside.
  • Add some more oil in the pot and add the garlic, shallots, carrots, bay leaves, and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the jackfruit, tomatoes, and red wine. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add the vegetable broth, pop on the lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Season it with sugar, ground paprika, vegan Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
  • Serve the stew wish this vegan mashed potatoes or this vegan mashed sweet potatoes. It also tasted delicious served with polenta, bread, or tagliatelle.

Notes

  • How long does this vegan stew stay fresh? Stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator, it stays fresh for 3-4 days. 
  • Can I use another vegetable instead of carrots? Yes, celery or potatoes also go very well with jackfruit stew.
  • Can I omit the red wine? No, red wine plays a vital role in this recipe and cannot be replaced.
  • What is the best red wine for this stew? I always use a Tempranillo red wine because of its slightly sweet flavor. Make sure not to use a very sour wine, as the jackfruit already has a somewhat sour note.
  • Can I skip the vegan Worcestershire sauce? This sauce gives the stew a pleasant aroma. But if you don’t have any, you can omit it or replace it with some soy sauce.
