Vegan Pulled Pork

This Vegan Pulled Pork is made from jackfruit, marinated in a smoky barbecue sauce and served on a soft bun. It's a satisfying and hearty dish that perfectly captures the flavors of traditional BBQ without any meat.

Ingredients

• Green jackfruit - 400 grams (drained and rinsed)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 medium (diced)
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Maple syrup - 1 tablespoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Liquid smoke - 1 teaspoon
• BBQ sauce - 100 grams
• Burger buns - 2 units
• Coleslaw (optional) - 100 grams

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Shred the drained jackfruit using your hands or a fork, then add it to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion and spices.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke. Pour this mixture over the jackfruit and stir to coat evenly.
5. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and well combined with the sauce.
6. Add the BBQ sauce to the skillet and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
