Ingredients
Jackfruit Marinade

Instructions
  1. Place rinsed jackfruit in a medium sized bowl.
  2. In a blender add pepper, mustard powder, cayenne, paprika and garlic and blend to create a fine powder. Pour powder onto jackfruit and toss to coat. Set aside and allow to marinate for 15-30 mins, while you prep remaining ingredients.
  3. Press the ‘Saute’ button on the Instant Pot and heat 1 tbsp coconut oil.
  4. Add sausage and cook for 3-5 mins until it browned slightly.
  5. Remove sausage and set aside.
  6. Add 1 tbsp coconut oil to instant pot and press “Saute” to heat. Add marinated jackfruit and saute for 3-5 mins until soft. Remove from Instant Pot and set aside.
  7. Add ¼ cup coconut oil, flour, 1 tbsp cajun seasoning, 1 tsp thyme, and 1 tsp paprika to the pot. Whisk constantly and cook for 15 mins, until the roux is dark brown in colour.
  8. Add garlic, onion, green pepper, and celery and cook, stirring, until veggies are soft, about 3-5 mins.
  9. Add the cooked sausage, jackfruit, bouillon dissolved in water, tomatoes, okra and bay leaf to the pressure cooker. Stir well to combine and scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent error notices on the machine.
  10. Add the Instant Pot lid, close pressure valve, press the 'pressure cook' button, and add 4 mins to timer.
  11. Quick release the pressure by turning the pressure valve.
  12. Remove the lid and taste the gumbo. Add ½ tsp salt and pepper to taste. If you're watching your salt intake just season to taste.
  13. Stir in chopped parsley and serve with cooked rice.
