Ingredients

  • 2 cans Canned Green Jackfruit in Water
  • 1 1/2 cups BBQ Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 4 Soy-Free Burger Buns
  • as needed Coleslaw

Instructions

  1. 1Open the 2 cans of canned green jackfruit in water, drain them thoroughly, and rinse them under cool water. Place the jackfruit in a bowl and use two forks to shred it into pieces that resemble pulled meat.
  2. 2Place a 12-inch skillet on the stovetop and heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat (350°F / 175°C).
  3. 3Add the 1/2 cup of red onion and 2 cloves of garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4Add the shredded jackfruit, 1 1/2 cups of BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.
  5. 5Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low (250°F / 120°C), cover the skillet, and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. The jackfruit should become tender and the sauce should thicken.
  6. 6While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare your soy-free burger buns and coleslaw as needed.
  7. 7Serve the BBQ pulled jackfruit on the 4 soy-free burger buns, topped with the coleslaw.
