- 2 tablespoons tabasco
- 1 onion (chopped)

- Method
Put 3 tablespoons of the vegan in a large lidded saucepan over a medium heat. Add the jackfruit and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Fry for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown, adding more butter if necessary.
Once the jackfruit is golden brown, remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, then tip the jackfruit into a bowl and wipe out the pan.
Put the pan back over a medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the onion and celery and fry for 8 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for 1 minute, then stir in the flour and paprika.
Pour in the wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the thyme, carrots, potatoes, bay, stock, hot water and the remaining tablespoon of tabasco sauce. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, put the lid on and simmer for 40–50 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir the cooked jackfruit into the stew and simmer for 1 minute before serving.
