The jackfruit goulash tastes juicy, spicy and slightly smoky. It is also vegan, healthy and filling. In the cold season, the goulash with jackfruit is a delicious main meal that warms you up from the inside. It is also ideal for a festive meal. You can find a detailed jackfruit goulash recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
Vegan goulash with jackfruit
You can prepare a vegan goulash using various plant-based alternatives. Perhaps you have already tried my mushroom goulash, for example.
This popular hearty dish is particularly delicious with jackfruit, which has a tender, fibrous texture. For this recipe, you will need the canned flesh of the jackfruit, which has been soaked in salted water.
Modify the recipe
You can modify the jackfruit goulash recipe to suit your preferences when it comes to vegetables, spices, herbs or red wine. The same applies to the vegan gravy recipe.
Substituting vegetables
I made the vegan goulash with carrots and bell peppers, similar to my pumpkin lentil soup. Alternatively, you can use other vegetables. Potatoes are a good choice.
Spices and herbs to taste
Refine the jackfruit goulash with spices and fresh herbs of your choice, just like the red lentil patties or the buckwheat with white cabbage. For a spicier taste, add chili powder, for example. In addition to rosemary, thyme and marjoram go well with it.
Omit red wine
If you want to make your vegan goulash with jackfruit alcohol free, leave the wine out of the recipe. In this case, use more vegetable stock. Depending on how thick you like your jackfruit goulash, you can adjust the amount as required.
How to serve and store jackfruit goulash?
The vegan goulash with jackfruit is filling and, alongside the Uzbek plov, the buckwheat with mushrooms and the vegan lenivye pelmeni, is ideal as a wholesome hot main course. You can serve it with a side dish or with bread.
Potato dumplings, pasta and mashed potatoes go very well with it as a side dish. The Hungarian goulash tastes just as delicious with fresh whole wheat bread or baguette.
Keep the leftovers covered in the fridge. The vegan goulash can be kept for up to three days. Reheat it in a pan on the stove before serving.
