Ingredients
- 2 cans of jackfruit (drained and rinsed)
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 2 scallion (sliced)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 large carrot (chopped)
- 2 tbsp beef seasoning (This is vegan!!)
- 1 tbsp pimento berries
- 1ยฝ tbsp soy(a) sauce
- 2 tbsp browning sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 6 sprigs of thyme
- 1 scotch bonnet (optional)
- 15 oz butter beans (rinsed and drained (400g))
- black pepper and pink salt to taste
Method
- Prepare the jackfruit by placing it in a medium sized saucepan along with the 5 cups of vegetable broth.
- Bring to the boil and then simmer on medium-low heat for an hour, during the given time you will notice the colour of the jackfruit deepen and become more beige (it will also be more fork tender).
- After the given time, use a slotted spoon to remove the jackfruit and set aside (reserve the vegetable broth, don't throw it away!!).
- Heat olive oil in a medium sized frying pan/skillet on medium heat.
- Saute the onion, scallion and garlic until soft and translucent.
- Add the carrot and continue to cook until tender (this should take 3-4 minutes).
- Add the beef seasoning, pimento berries, soy(a) sauce, browning sauce, tomato paste, thyme, scotch bonnet and then stir.
- Add butter beans and jackfruit.
- Pour in the 1ยฝ cups of the reserved vegetable broth and stir to combine all of the ingredients. At this point you can add a splash more of my homemade browning to the pan.
- Bring the pan to a rolling boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Put the lid on and simmer for up to 40 minutes make sure to baste the jackfruit with a spoon by tilting the pan to the side a few times throughout this time as this will give the jackfruit a darker hue.
- After the given time, remove the lid and do a taste test and add black pepper and pink salt to taste.
- Discard the thyme stems and scotch bonnet before serving.
