What does it mean to 'burn' the spices in this recipe?

To 'burn' the spices means to add the bay leaf, coriander, cumin, chili, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and vegetable bouillon cube to heated oil and allow them to cook for a minute or so, intensifying their flavor before adding other ingredients.

How can I adjust the spiciness of the Jackfruit Stew?

The recipe calls for an inch piece of scotch bonnet pepper, diced without seeds. To reduce the heat, you can use less pepper or omit it entirely; for more heat, include some seeds or a larger piece.

How should I prepare the millet for serving with the stew?

The organic hulled millet should be soaked overnight and thoroughly washed before cooking. It's then simmered with coconut oil, a bay leaf, cinnamon stick, water, salt, and diced scallion.

Can I make this Jackfruit Stew ahead of time or store leftovers?

Yes, this Jackfruit Stew can be made ahead. Store any leftovers, along with the cooked millet, in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. It should also freeze well for longer storage.
