Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Drain the jackfruit, rinse with water, and simmer in a pot with vegetable stock for about 15-20 minutes until soft. Meanwhile, wash and trim the vegetables, then cut into small cubes or pieces. Crush the garlic and slice the onion. Mix the sriracha sauce with the BBQ sauce and Worcestershire sauce. When the jackfruit is cooked, drain and let cool slightly. Remove the jackfruit fibers and chop any tougher pieces. Heat the olive oil in a pot and sauté the vegetables for a few minutes. Add the jackfruit and peas, season with spices, and cook over medium-high heat until the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the jackfruit fibers from burning. Finally, add the sauce mixture and simmer slightly. Add a little more water or vegetable stock if necessary. Serve the vegan ropa vieja with a wrap, bread, or potatoes.
