jackfruit

🥗Healthier: young green jackfruit

tucupi

💰Cheaper: vegetable broth

Vegetable broth can substitute for tucupi in flavor, though it lacks the distinct taste.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: soy milk

Soy milk is a cost-effective alternative with a similar consistency.

Start by introducing the main ingredients: jambu and tucupi.

Use textured soy protein as a substitute for duck, cut into pieces.

Hydrate the soy protein in running water and marinate with spices.

Heat olive oil in a large pot.

Add chopped onion, garlic, green pepper, and rosemary; sauté until softened.

Add chopped tomato and cook until it wilts.

Season with salt and black pepper.

Add the hydrated soy protein to the pot.

Pour in the tucupi and add water to ensure enough liquid for cooking.

Add jambu, cutting it roughly into pieces, including the stems.

Cover the pot and let it cook to reduce the liquid, checking periodically.

Adjust the seasoning and add more water if necessary to maintain a soupy consistency.

In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add okra for additional flavor and texture.

Serve the dish hot over cooked rice, garnished with cilantro.
