This chunky sweet potato and jackfruit stew is the perfect thing to warm you up on a chilly evening. The neutral flavor of young green jackfruit absorbs the complex heat of five-spice powder and the floral notes of lemongrass. Sweet potato and carrots complement the fleshy jackfruit and tender morsels of mushrooms. To make this a complete meal, serve it over brown rice, quinoa, or another whole grain. Garnish with cilantro and, if you like it spicy, thinly sliced fresh red chile.
Tips
Gloves: Chile peppers contain oils that can irritate your skin and eyes. Wear plastic or rubber gloves when working with them.
Jackfruit: Be sure to use young green jackfruit packed in water, not the yellow ripe jackfruit in sweetened syrup.
