Whole Food, Plant-Based Recipe Stew with Jackfruit Seeds

Recipe courtesy of Rogier van Vlissingen, PPMNY Community Member

I have grown to absolutely love the taste of jackfruit, even if it is a bit of work to take apart in an orderly fashion. Do not forget the seeds! Start with an incision at the ends and surgically dissect it, harvesting all the pods whole and taking out the seeds whole as well. Remove the white skin from the seeds.

Ingredients

  • Onion

  • Garlic
  • Diced peppers (including hot peppers)
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • Seeds from 1 jackfruit
  • 1 purple sweet potato, peeled and sliced in half-inch slices
  • Turmeric

Instructions

1. Roast onions, garlic, and diced peppers in a stainless steel pot.
2. Add vegetable broth and jackfruit seeds. Cook for 15 minutes.
3. Add purple sweet potato and cook for another 15 minutes.
4. Add a pinch of turmeric.
