Ingredients

Instructions

  • Position one of the racks in the middle of the oven, making sure there's enough room for the dutch oven. Preheat it to 400°F.
  • Cut the onions, garlic, potatoes, and carrots. The mushrooms can be left whole if they are smaller. Drain and rinse the jackfruit really well. Look through the pieces and remove any seeds you see. It's okay if you don't get them all.
  • Heat your pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions in olive oil until they are slightly browned. Add the garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Stir as the paste spreads and cooks for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in the pomegranate juice or red wine. Deglaze the pot by scraping the bits off of the bottom.
  • Mix the cornstarch into the soy sauce in a small container until it's smooth. Stir in the soy sauce mixture, bouillon, water, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and oregano.
  • Bring the gravy to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, jackfruit, and herbs to the pot. Stir everything to coat it in the sauce. Cover the dish and cook it in the oven for 50-60 minutes. Give it a stir halfway through and add a bit more water if it looks like it's drying out.
  • The pot roast is done when the vegetables are fork-tender. Remove the herb stems. *Note: If I'm setting this out as a festive meal, I like to serve it in a separate casserole dish. This is because the dutch oven will be very hot and the walls will look a little messy. I do this by transferring all of the food to the dish with a slotted spoon and then drizzling the gravy over it. You can also shred the jackfruit before serving it.

Notes

If you don't have an enameled cast iron dutch oven available, simply start with a medium pot and then transfer everything to a casserole dish with a fitted lid (or foil) before roasting. Here's the one I use and love: Lodge Dutch Oven
