Carrot hotdogs are deliciously tender in texture and are infused with the flavours and aromas of smoky-sweet BBQ. Topping these irresistible carrot-dogs with campfire stew and encompassing all that plant-based yumminess and goodness within a soft bread roll is just perfection. This fun meal is my kids ultimate favourite. And perfect for enjoying during the summer months.

Instructions
Prepare the carrot dogs:
Place all the ingredients into your saucepan and stir.
Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes. For the last 15 minutes place a lid on the saucepan.Remove from the heat and leave until the rest of dinner is prepared.
While the carrot dogs are simmering prepare the campfire stew:
Add all the ingredients to a skillet, except the optional liquid smoke and nutritional yeast.
Mix and bring to a simmer.
Lower heat and stew for 45 minutes. Add extra veggie stock if necessary during cooking to prevent stew sticking or becoming too thick.
Remove pieces of jackfruit and using one or two forks pull apart the strands. Some pieces can be kept larger than others for texture.
Place the jackfruit back into the stew and give it all a good mix.
Add the liquid smoke and nutritional yeast. Stir and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Build the carrot hotdog with campfire stew topping:
Add crispy lettuce to each hotdog bun. Place in a carrot-dog and top with scoops of campfire stew. Add condiments if preferred.
