Instructions
Island Stew Jackfruit
- Drain the jackfruit, reserving the liquid. Season the jackfruit with seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, curry, basil, cumin, salt and pepper.
- In a large pot, add oil, sugar, and garlic and cook over high heat until it begins to bubble and caramelize.
- Add seasoned jackfruit, and allow to brown on one side. Carefully flip over to brown on the other side.
- Once completely browned, add onions, tomatoes, green peppers, and allspice.
- Reduce the flame to medium and allow to simmer covered, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.
- Add carrots, potatoes, thyme, reserved jackfruit liquid, and a habanero on top. Cover and allow to simmer until the potato and carrots are soft, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve spooned over rice and peas.
Rice and Peas
- Combine coconut milk, water, allspice, salt, pepper, thyme and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil.
- Stir in rice and reduce the heat to low. Place the pepper on the top and cover and cook 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove pan from heat; remove the pepper (taking care not to puncture), thyme sprigs, and garlic and discard.
- Gently stir in the beans and cover and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
