How to Prepare Red Jackfruit Pozole [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Add all the soup ingredients (the broth, hominy, jackfruit, chickpeas, onion, garlic, cilantro, nutritional yeast, sage, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf) to the pot of a pressure cooker.
  2. Pressure cook the soup for 30 minutes, allowing for natural release. If cooking on the stove-top, cook, partially covered over medium heat for 1 hour. Add more water as it reduces. Remove and discard the cilantro and bay. Set the soup aside.
  3. Add the chilis, onion, garlic, clove, cumin, and water to a medium saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, and cook, covered until tender, about 10 minutes. Blend the pot of chili and water and pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Press out as much of the pulp as possible.
  4. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the chili puree. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 6-8 minutes. Add the reduced puree to the soup. Bring the soup back to a boil and cook for 20 minutes to marry the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Serve the soup hot with the toppings, as desired.

  1. My biggest thing was the jack fruit is still pretty bland, I would season and prep the jack fruit a little more than what’s said to do. I also cooked it longer to help the flavors really come together. Other than that this is pretty spot on! I also didn’t think it was spicy enough, but I also like really spicy foods. If you like spicier foods I’d add a little more chili peppers
