Step 1

Warm the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion and garlic for a minute, then add the jackfruit. Fry for 8 minutes, or until the onion and jackfruit start to brown.

Step 2

Use 2 forks to start pulling the jackfruit apart, shredding it (you may find it easier to do this on a chopping board, then add the jackfruit back to the pan). Sauté for a few more minutes, until the shredded jackfruit is well browned (even charred) on the edges. Add the red pepper, sweet potato, tomato purée and spices and sauté for 1 more minute.

Step 3

Add the mixed beans, chopped tomatoes, chocolate, 2 tsp sea salt flakes and vegetable stock. Bring to the boil and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, then reduce to the lowest setting, cover and simmer for 1½-2 hours, stirring occasionally. It will gently bubble away and get better the longer you leave it. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 4

Garnish with coriander and lime wedges, avocado and/or vegan yogurt and serve with rice or tortilla chips (or both).
