Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans young green jackfruit in water, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. Add the drained jackfruit to the skillet, breaking it apart with a fork or spoon.
