Instructions

• Cut 3 of the 4 links of the Mexican chipotle vegetarian sausage and slice into uniformed pieces. Once cut, place in hot skillet to cook. For more heartiness, cut all 4 links! Approx.10 minutes.

• In a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat, sauté the diced onions, sliced celery, sliced portabella mushrooms in 4 tbsp of the Unsalted Vegetable Stock. Cook the vegetables until they have softened and the onions look slightly translucent. Approx. 10 minutes.

• After 20 minutes, check to see if jackfruit is tender by pressing against the pot to see if it will break a part. if still hard, let cook for another 5 minutes.

• Add whole bag of vegan mozzarella and vegan sour cream.

• Add approximately 4 oz of fresh spinach or whole bag to taste.

• Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of chili flakes and chopped green onions.

NOTE: Beans can be substituted with black eye peas, pinto beans, etc. I typically add a different bean for each can for variety.
