Vegan Caribbean Papaya Stew
Stoba is a popular stew from Curacao, which may include green papaya, beef, pork tail or goat. Also popular in Aruba and Bonaire, it is a hearty mainstay on the ABC islands. Taking inspiration from Curacao’s stoba, I put together a vegan papaya stew recipe that is rich in flavor and hearty. While some recipes…
Slow Cooker Vegan Chili Verde
When I bought the ingredients for this recipe, the cashier at the grocery store commented, “Now, that’s what I call the right ratio of chiles to tomatillos.” I told him, “If you’re gonna do it, then do it.” He probably didn’t realize that I was going to cook up a recipe for vegan chili verde…
Slow Cooker Vegan Ropa Vieja
Today’s recipe is inspired by the Cuban national dish, ropa vieja. The English translation of ropa vieja is “old clothes”, because the shredded beef and vegetables look like rags. This vegan version uses thin sliced seitan, shredded jackfruit, dry white wine, peppers, red onion, crushed tomatoes, green olives, and savory herbs and spices. Simmer it…
Slow Cooker Jackfruit Porcini Ragù
This is a revision of a previous vegan ragu recipe. While it has a few more steps than the original, it doesn’t take much time at all to put together (less than 20 minutes). These steps were essential to creating the unbelievable flavor of this recipe. Sautéing the onions and garlic creates a nice base….

Vegan Curry Shepherd’s Pie
I used to have an obsession with the Madras Potatoes from the Whole Foods’ Hot Bar. After a long run or a tough workout, all I wanted to do was load up a brown paper take-out box with their delightful, spicy potatoes. When we left California’s Bay Area, it marked the end of Whole Foods’…
Slow Cooker Vegan Italian Beef
So, what’s Italian beef? A Chicago classic, a U.S. Midwestern favorite. Scraps of meat are slow simmered in au jus, served in a hearty roll, and topped with hot giadiniera. This vegan Italian beef recipe combines shredded young jackfruit and thinly sliced seitan to create an unforgettable texture. Together, they are magical. The au jus…
White Bean Jackfruit Chili
As the kiddos go back to school, I can’t help but think of chili. It tastes great on it’s own, or loaded up with vegan sour cream, scallions, avocado, or with a bit of shredded vegan cheese. For the contrast in textures, I like a few crushed tortilla chips in mine. And oh man, vegan white…
Southwestern Jackfruit Pizza
Sweet corn made so much sense for this vegan jackfruit pizza recipe. I couldn’t help but think about my run-in with a European Domino’s Pizza menu a few years ago. My husband said, “Europeans eat corn on pizza?” I said, “I guess so.” As an American, this seemed novel, and well, very American, because corn…

Jerk Jackfruit
This jerk jackfruit recipe could not be easier! You mix canola oil, spices, salt and young jackfruit in a bowl, and then, grill it. It tastes awesome alongside Slow Cooker Kidney Beans and Coconut Brown Rice. I also like to add a little homemade mango salsa! To make fresh mango salsa, chop up 1 mango,…
