Ingredients

  • young green jackfruit in brine - 400 grams, drained and rinsed
  • olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
  • garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • BBQ sauce - 1/2 cup
  • water - 100 milliliters
  • salt - to taste
  • burger buns - 2
  • coleslaw mix - 1 cup
  • vegan mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
  • apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon

Steps

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the rinsed jackfruit to the skillet and use a fork to shred it into smaller pieces.
  4. Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat the jackfruit with the spices.
  5. Pour in the BBQ sauce and water, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and well coated with sauce.
  6. While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare the coleslaw by mixing the coleslaw mix with vegan mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Set aside.
  7. Once the jackfruit is done, toast the burger buns if desired. Assemble the sandwiches by placing a generous portion of the BBQ pulled jackfruit on the bottom half of each bun and topping it with coleslaw.
  8. Close the sandwiches with the top half of the buns and serve immediately.
