Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 celery stalks, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
• 2 cups canned young jackfruit, drained and shredded
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup lentils, uncooked
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons flour (all-purpose or gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the baby potatoes and shredded jackfruit to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the jackfruit.

Step 5

Push the vegetables and jackfruit to the sides of the pot and add the tomato paste. Stir it into the pot and cook for 1 minute to caramelize.

Step 6

Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the vegetable broth, lentils, soy sauce, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, check to see if the potatoes and lentils are tender. If not, continue simmering for another 10-15 minutes.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk the flour with 1/4 cup of water to create a smooth slurry. Slowly pour this into the stew while stirring to thicken.

Step 11

Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
