Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 sandwiches
Ingredients
  • 3 20-oz cans jackfruit in water
  • 1 TBS canola oil
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
Dry Seasonings
  • 1 TBS brown sugar
  • 1½ tsp smoked paprika and chili powder, each
  • ½ tsp cumin, black pepper, oregano, and thyme, each
Wet Seasonings
  • 1½ cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 3 TBS apple cider vinegar
  • 1 TBS yellow mustard
BBQ Sandwiches
  • 1 cup prepared barbecue sauce, divided, plus extra for serving
  • 8 whole wheat sandwich buns
Instructions
  1. Drain and rinse jackfruit. Cut off cores and remove seeds, set aside. Place jackfruit into a large bowl and massage it with your hands to start breaking up the pieces. Mince the cores and seeds and mix them into the stringy jackfruit.
  2. In a large (15 inches) skillet, heat oil and cook onion until it turns translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds. Pour in jackfruit, and mix in all the dry seasonings. Stir to coat well. Saute to toast the spices for 5-10 minutes, stirring regularly.
  3. Mix in all the wet seasonings and cover. Cook for 20 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Mix ½ cup barbecue sauce into the skillet and turn heat up to high. Saute for 5 minutes uncovered to firm up the jackfruit, and caramelize the barbecue sauce.
  5. Remove from heat and mix in the other ½ cup of barbecue sauce.
  6. Serve on buns with extra sauce.
