Vegan White Jackfruit Chili (Nut-free option, Soy-free option)
Ingredients
- 2 20-oz [566-g] cans young jackfruit in brine
- 2 tbsp 28 g vegan butter (nut-free and/or soy-free if needed)
- 1 medium-sized onion - chopped (about 1 cup [160 g])
- 3 cloves garlic - peeled and minced, or 1 tbsp (9 g) jarred minced garlic
- 1½ tsp 3 g dried oregano
- 2 tsp 4 g paprika
- 1 tbsp 6 g ground cumin
- 2 tbsp 17 g chili powder
- ⅓ cup 41 g all-purpose flour
- 3 cups 720 ml plain, unsweetened rice milk
- 2 cups 480 ml vegetable broth
- 2 15.5-oz [439-g] cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 14.5-oz [411-g] can diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp 30 g canned chopped green chiles
- 1½ cups 204 g frozen corn
- 2 cups 224 g vegan Mozzarella shreds or store-bought (nut-free and/or soy-free if needed)
- 2 tsp 12 g salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper - plus more to taste
- FOR SERVING
- Cashew Cream or vegan sour cream - nut-free and/or soy-free if needed
- Dried or chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the jackfruit and squeeze out as much water as possible, using a cheesecloth or clean towel. Chop it into small pieces and set aside.
- In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until translucent. Stir in the jackfruit and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin and chili powder and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the flour until it is well mixed with the vegetables. Slowly pour in the rice milk, stirring constantly. Stir in the vegetable broth, cannellini beans, diced tomatoes, green chiles and corn. Increase the heat to high and bring the chili to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat to low, bringing the chili to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the cheese until melted, then stir in the salt and pepper, adding more to taste if desired. Serve hot, topped with Cashew Cream and parsley.
