Ingredients
1–20 oz can young jackfruit in brine, drained
1/2 large or 1 small yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp vegan butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable stock
1 tsp ground sage
1 tsp celery salt
cracked pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a cutting board and knife, slice core ends from jackfruit pieces and discard. Shred the softer part of the jackfruit with your fingers and then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in oven and roast for 20 minutes or until the jackfruit has dried out. Remove from oven and set aside.
Heat a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and onions. Sauté until onions are slightly translucent. Add butter and stir until melted. Slowly add flour a tbsp at a time to the mixture and stir to combine. Once the mixture is a soft paste, slowly add a bit of the broth and stir to smooth out onion and flour mixture. Then, add the rest of the broth, sage, celery salt, and pepper. Stir the gravy and reduce heat to a simmer until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Once the gravy is the consistency you want, add jackfruit and stir. Can be kept warm over low heat until ready to serve.
Notes
If your gravy is still too thin, you can pour half a cup of the gravy into a bowl and add another tbsp of flour. Stir the flour into the hot gravy and then pour mixture back into the sauce pan with gravy. Simmer for a few more minutes and the gravy will start to thicken.
