Cooking Steps

In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced yellow onion, sliced carrots, and minced garlic until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in diced fresh tomatoes and thawed green peas. Allow the tomatoes to release their juices for about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold in the rinsed jackfruit pieces and the gnocchi.
Add fresh thyme, whole cloves, bay leaves, smoked paprika, and whole wheat pastry flour. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the vegetable stock and a splash of red wine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Serve hot, garnished with roughly chopped fresh Italian parsley.
