Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoon olive oil divided extra virgin
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 med brown onion finely chopped
  • 2 7 oz packages Organic Young Jackfruit (unseasoned) I use #Edward&Sons
  • 32 oz Organic Vegetable Broth I use Organics
  • 5 med red potatoes chopped
  • 4 large carrots diced
  • 4 large celery stalks diced
  • 3 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 22 oz Guinness beer extra stout
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoon corn starch mix with small amount cold water

Instructions

  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in large fry pan. Add bay leaf and allow to gently simmer just until fragrant. Toss aside. 
  • Add garlic. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add onion and saute until translucent.  
  • Add vegetable broth to large stock pot over high heat. Add potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and transfer garlic and onions to stock pot. Simmer for a spell. 
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in same pan you cooked the onions and garlic in. Add jackfruit, a pinch of sea salt and pepper and brown over high heat. You want the jackfruit to be a little crispy on the edges. Transfer to stock pot when well done. 
  • Heat another teaspoon of olive oil in same fry pan you cooked everything else in. Add celery, carrots and rosemary to pan and saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes. 
  • Transfer veggies to stock pot and give it a stir. Add the tarragon and tomato paste and stir until paste is fully disseminated. Then, slowly pour in your Guinness. Stir and reduce heat to low, Allow to simmer for about 1-2 hours. 
  • Turn the heat on high and pour in your corn starch water, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil for a full minute, while continuing to stir. Remove from heat. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to thicken up. Serve immediately with a side of brown rice and some warm, crusty french bread.  

Notes

  • To keep the potatoes firm, try adding them last and don't overcook them.
  • The Guinness beer makes this dish. There is really no substitute. If you're absolutely against adding it to your food, try adding 4 tablespoon of vegan Worcestershire sauce.
