Description

These Mushroom and Jackfruit French Dip Sandwiches are a delicious plant-based version of the classic savory sandwich!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 can jackfruit in water, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine
  • 3 Tbsp liquid aminos (or 2 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce)
  • 1/4 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1/2 of a red onion, sliced in rings
  • 1 lb mushrooms (about 10), sliced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tsp red miso (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3/4 of a red bell pepper, sliced in strips
  • 3 cups kale or spinach, chopped

For Serving

  • 4 sandwich baguettes (fresh from the bakery is best)
  • Garlic aioli: vegan mayo + 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the can of jackfruit using a strainer. Use your fingers to pull the jackfruit apart, making it stringy.
  2. Jackfruit Marinade: In a medium sized bowl combine red wine, liquid aminos, liquid smoke, and jackfruit and let marinade for a minimum of 20-30 minutes.
  3. Sauté onions in a drizzle of oil on medium-low heat until onions become transparent. Remove onions and set aside.
  4. In large pot on medium heat, drizzle oil and sauté mushrooms until softened, 5-10 minutes.
  5. Add in vegetable broth, miso, the jackfruit with the marinade liquid, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
    Cover with a lid and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, until mushrooms are tender. 
  6. Turn off heat. Use a colander and another large pot to carefully separate and save the liquids, then add mushroom mix back to the pot. Stir in spinach and bell pepper.
  7. For garlic aioli: mince 1 garlic clove and place in a small bowl. Add in 2 Tbsp vegan mayo and stir to combine.
  8. Lightly toast baguettes. Top with garlic aioli, dijon mustard, and fill sandwiches with mushroom and jackfruit filling and onion rounds. Pour au jus in small bowls for dipping. Enjoy!
