Description
This recipe, “Vegan BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich,” offers a plant-based take on the classic pulled pork sandwich, using young green jackfruit as a surprisingly convincing meat substitute
Ingredients
- 1 can young green jackfruit in brine, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 sandwich buns
- Coleslaw (optional) for serving

Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Add Jackfruit: Add the drained and rinsed jackfruit to the pan.
-
Cook and Shred Jackfruit: Cook for another 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a fork to create a shredded texture, similar to pulled pork.
-
Add BBQ Sauce: Pour the BBQ sauce over the jackfruit and stir to combine.
-
Simmer: Cook for another 10 minutes, or until the jackfruit is tender and well-coated with the sauce.
-
Toast Buns (Optional): Toast the sandwich buns if desired.
-
Assemble Sandwiches: Serve the BBQ jackfruit on the toasted buns, optionally topped with coleslaw.

Serve: Enjoy!
