  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small white onion (diced into 1-inch chunks)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup dry red wine (can sub for additional broth)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 2 cups veggie broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 pound red potatoes (cut into quarters or halves depending on preferred size)
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 18 ounces young jackfruit (drained)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In an extra large skillet or stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add in the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until it softens.
  4. Add in the garlic and cook for one additional minute, stirring until fragrant.
  5. Add the drained jackfruit to the skillet and cook over medium heat for another minute.
  6. Add in the red wine, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  7. In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the veggie broth and cornstarch until fully combined. Then mix this into the skillet with the jackfruit.
  8. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often to ensure everything is well combined.
  9. Pour the jackfruit mixture over the carrots and potatoes in a baking dish.
  10. Bake for 40 minutes or until the veggies are fork tender and ready to eat.
