Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 carrots (sliced into rounds)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 lb jackfruit pieces (rinsed well)
  • 1 lb gnocchi
  • 1 cup fresh tomatoes (diced)
  • 3/4 cup frozen green peas (thawed and rinsed)
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 6 cups vegetable stock (low sodium)
  • 1/3 cup apple vinegar
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté diced onion and sliced carrots in a heavy-bottom dutch oven over medium-low heat until the onion is translucent.
  2. Stir in minced garlic for a few seconds before adding rinsed jackfruit, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Pour in apple vinegar and simmer until most vinegar evaporates.
  3. Whisk whole wheat pastry flour into vegetable stock; add to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer with smoked paprika and whole cloves, cooking for about 45 minutes until jackfruit is fork-tender.
  4. Fold in gnocchi, diced tomatoes, and green peas; cook until gnocchi float to the top.
  5. Discard thyme sprigs and whole cloves; season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in chopped parsley before serving.
