This red wine braised jackfruit tastes just like pot roast! Super flavorful and easy to make.

 

Ingredients

  • 2 20oz. cans of green jackfruit
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 10 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 tbsp of tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp of agave nectar
  • 1 1/2  cups of red wine
  • 2 vegetable broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 sprig thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions

In a slow cooker, add the jackfruit, chopped carrots, sliced mushrooms and smashed garlic. 

 

Next, add the tomato paste and agave, and then pour the red wine and veggie broth over the veggies. Stir to combine and make sure the jackfruit is mostly covered by liquid. 

 

Add the bay leaves, thyme, and a few pinches of salt and pepper. 

 

Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 8-9 hours. 

 

Once you are ready to serve, smash and pull apart the jackfruit to resemble a pot roast. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, polenta, or noodles!
