Jackfruit “Pulled Pork” (Vegetarian BBQ!)
Feast your eyes on this goodness:
Ingredients
- 1 can young green jackfruit in water or brine (not syrup)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Buns or lettuce wraps, for serving
- Coleslaw, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- First things first, drain and rinse the jackfruit, then slice it into smaller pieces. You want to get that pulled texture, so don’t hesitate to break it down more if needed.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it’s translucent, about 5 minutes. Next, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it smells divine!
- Add the jackfruit to the skillet, stirring well. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper if you’re feelin’ spicy. Season with salt and pepper. Stir it all together, letting it soak up those fantastic flavors.
- Pour in your BBQ sauce, mixing well to coat the jackfruit fully. Bring everything to a gentle simmer, then cover it and let it cook down for about 15-20 minutes. The jackfruit should be tender and easily shreddable.
- Once it’s ready, shred the jackfruit with two forks right in the skillet, mixing it into the sauce again. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve up your Jackfruit “Pulled Pork” on buns or in lettuce wraps. Top with coleslaw if you like a little crunch and freshness!
And there you have it! This Jackfruit “Pulled Pork” is the perfect dish for your next BBQ or family gathering. It’s easy, delicious, and guarantees to impress all your folks. Happy eating!
