Jackfruit stew from the römertopf

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

Do you know jackfruit? I didn't know it yet, so I was curious about it. By invitation I drove to Amsterdam for a wonderfully hysterical food tour through the capital. We were transported in funny tuk-tuks and passed five different hotspots. After all this inspiration, we were asked to come up with a tasty recipe with jackfruit ourselves. Now you should know that this jackfruit has a bit of the taste of artichokes. My first idea was to make a smoothie, but I don't think that goes very well together. And so I thought I'd stew it in my römertopf. Good idea because my husband was very positive about it! Are you also going to get started with this jackfruit stew from the römertopf?

Jackfruit, also known as jackfruit, is a large exotic fruit native to Southeast Asia, but also grown in parts of Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. It is the largest fruit that grows on a tree and can weigh up to 30 kilograms.

The Fair Trade Jackfruit.

Jackfruit has a sweet and fruity flavor and a meaty texture, making it often used as a meat substitute in vegan and vegetarian dishes. The flesh is white or yellow in color and consists of several edible parts, including the fibrous 'meat-like' structure and seeds that can be cooked and eaten. It is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber and antioxidants. Jackfruit can be used in savory dishes such as stews, curries and tacos, as well as sweet dishes such as desserts and smoothies.

And this is how you make the Jackfruit stew from the römertopf:

Making this dish is not complicated at all, it just takes some time in the oven.

-First remove the jackfruit from the can and rinse them in a colander under the tap.

-Clean the shallots and cut each shallot into three pieces. Clean the pumpkin and the celeriac and then cut them into cubes of 2 by 2 cm.

-Get a large frying pan with a high rim and heat it. Add some olive oil and fry the vegetables for a few minutes until they start to discolour a bit. Sprinkle with the herbs and some salt and pepper.

    Jackfruit is especially a convenient way to cook vegetarian or vegan. What to use to replace the wild fond? I think the romertopf is a fantastic idea and I eat vegetarian.

    1. Hi Cora, I would just replace the stock for a tasty vegetable stock. This makes it vegan/vegan and a well-drawn stock also gives the dish a good taste. Gr Francine
