Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cans of young green jackfruit in brine, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- Coleslaw (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Using your hands or a fork, shred the jackfruit into small pieces, discarding any tough core pieces.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Pour the mixture over the jackfruit in the skillet and stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the jackfruit simmer in the BBQ sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- While the jackfruit is simmering, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a skillet.
- Once the jackfruit is tender and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a generous amount of the BBQ jackfruit mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw if desired, and cover with the top half of the bun.
- Serve the pulled BBQ jackfruit sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
