BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich
This BBQ Jackfruit sandwich is quick, fun, and so easy to make. You definitely won't miss meat with this one!
Ingredients
- 20 oz can un-ripened green jackfruit, drained (in water or brine)*
- 3 tbsp canola oil
BBQ Sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp cayenne powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the bbq sauce. Heat 1 tbsp canola oil in a medium saute pan. Add the ingredients to the pan and cook on low until sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large saute pan. Drain the jackfruit and use your hands to tear it apart, making sure to discard any tough parts. Add the jackfruit to the pan and saute for 3-5 minutes, or until the jackfruit starts to brown.
- Next, add about 1 cup of the bbq sauce (homemade or your favorite store bought brand!) and stir until jackfruit is fully coated in the sauce. Cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the jackfruit softens to your desired texture. You may need to add a little water to the pan to keep the jackfruit moist. To get the pulled pork texture, use a fork to pull the jackfruit apart.
- Toast a brioche bun, then layer on vegan mayo, jackfruit, purple cabbage, and mashed avocado. Serve with chips and enjoy!
- NOTE: If you use jackfruit in brine, rinse the jackfruit before cooking it.
