BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches
The perfect vegetarian version of a saucy, tangy pulled pork BBQ sandwich.
Yield:
Ingredients
- 8 ounce coleslaw mix
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise See notes
- 40 ounces jackfruit about 2 cans, in water
- 2 teaspoons barbecue rub
- 1 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- salt
- pepper
- 4 brioche buns See notes
- pickles sliced
Instructions
- Mix together the vinegar, coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few pinches of pepper in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Drain and seed jackfruit. Pull apart with two forks or use a hand mixer on low to break apart.
- Add the BBQ rub, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the jackfruit and combine.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the jackfruit, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the BBQ sauce to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cover. Stir occasionally and cook about 5 minutes or until tender.
- For the buns, heat up a little vegan butter in a skillet. Add buns, cut side down, and toast until golden and lightly browned in spots. Serve jackfruit on buns with coleslaw and pickles, if desired.
Notes
- For vegan: Use vegan mayonnaise.
- Bun alternatives: Use potato buns or gluten-free buns
