- 480 grams jackfruit chunks (in brine, drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Begin by shredding the jackfruit chunks using your hands to achieve a texture similar to pulled meat.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for an additional 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cubed potatoes and quartered mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms start to brown.
Add the tomato paste to the pot, stirring to combine with the vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the fresh thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and smoked paprika.
Stir in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Uncover and add the shredded jackfruit to the pot. Stir to distribute evenly, then cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
Remove the lid, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Discard the bay leaves.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
