Vegan BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 20 oz Young Green Jackfruit in Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1.5 cups Vegan BBQ Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 4 Vegan Buns
• 1 cup Vegan Coleslaw

Instructions

1. 1Open the cans of 20 oz Young Green Jackfruit in Water, drain it well, and rinse it under cool water. Use your fingers or a fork to shred the jackfruit into small pieces, like pulled meat.
2. 2Place a 12-inch skillet on the stovetop and add the 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil. Heat the oil over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C). Add the 1 medium Onion, chopped, and cook, stirring often, until it looks soft and see-through, about 5 minutes. Add the 2 cloves of Garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more until you can smell it.
3. 3Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit starts to look slightly browned.
4. 4Pour in the 1.5 cups of Vegan BBQ Sauce, 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of Smoked Paprika. Stir everything together well to coat the jackfruit.
5. 5Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Then, lower the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 20 minutes. Stir every so often to prevent sticking, until the jackfruit is tender and has soaked up most of the sauce.
6. 6While the jackfruit is simmering, lightly toast the 4 Vegan Buns until they are warm and slightly crisp.
7. 7To assemble the sandwiches, pile the cooked BBQ jackfruit mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the 1 cup of Vegan Coleslaw and place the top half of the bun on top. Serve immediately.
