Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cans of young green jackfruit in brine, drained and shredded
- 1 cup of BBQ sauce
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup of vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup of vegan butter
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded jackfruit with the BBQ sauce until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the jackfruit mixture. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is heated through and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Spread vegan butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
- Divide the vegan cheddar cheese evenly among the 4 slices of bread. Top with the BBQ pulled jackfruit mixture, then place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, buttered side up.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Grilled Cheese is a vegan twist on the classic comfort food. Originating in the southern United States, this dish combines the smoky flavors of BBQ pulled jackfruit with the gooey goodness of grilled cheese. The jackfruit is slow-cooked in a tangy BBQ sauce, then piled high onto crusty bread with melty vegan cheese. Chefs like Chloe Coscarelli and Isa Chandra Moskowitz have popularized this dish, making it a staple in vegan eateries across the country. For the best version of this dish, head to vegan restaurants in cities like Portland, Los Angeles, and New York. The key to nailing this dish is achieving the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors in the BBQ jackfruit, and using a high-quality vegan cheese that melts beautifully.
