Directions

Step 1

Begin by shredding the jackfruit chunks using your hands to achieve a texture similar to pulled meat.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the sliced carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for an additional 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the cubed potatoes and quartered mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms start to brown.

Add the tomato paste to the pot, stirring to combine with the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the fresh thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and smoked paprika.

Step 7

Stir in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Uncover and add the shredded jackfruit to the pot. Stir to distribute evenly, then cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the lid, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Discard the bay leaves.

Step 10

Serve the stew hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
