Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 2 20 oz cans of jackfruit
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Ropa Vieja

  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • oil for cooking (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinade

  • Prepare jackfruit by thoroughly draining the brine from both cans.* Then, shred the jackfruit.
  • In a large enough bowl, mix all of the marinade ingredients before adding the jackfruit. Then mix thoroughly.
  • Let the marinaded jackfruit sit for at least 30 minutes.

Jackfruit Ropa Vieja

  • Heat a large pan on medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers and saute until translucent for about 4 minutes.*
  • Add marinaded jackfruit, tomato sauce, and bay leaf and stir to combine. Cover and let simmer on medium-low for about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to avoid sticking.
  • After 10 minutes, add salt to taste, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

*If you have extra time I recommend boiling the jackfruit for an hour and then squeezing out as much of the brine as possible.
*You can use oil if preferred. Add the oil after the pan is heated and before adding in the onions and bell peppers
