Tender, flavorful, and surprisingly meaty—jackfruit brings a new spin to a beloved holiday dish.

by Jamie Geller

Food 4 Thought

Wine is the traditional symbol of joy that is used on many festive occasions. The Jewish people are compared to wine in a number of places in scripture, and the metaphor is pretty accurate. Wine takes time to produce, but also has to go through quite a process. In order to make delicious wine or grape juice, the grape has to be crushed in order to bring out its true potential. And just as wine also improves with age, we want our lives to improve with age too! Understand more about the symbolism of wine.

Inspired by traditional brisket recipes, this vegan version swaps meat for jackfruit, creating a dish that’s as tender and flavorful as the original. With its rich texture and savory depth, this plant-based brisket not only looks like the melt-in-your-mouth brisket of your dreams but also delivers a remarkably similar texture. Serve it over creamy mashed potatoes for an elegant and satisfying presentation.
