Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Young green jackfruit
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
- 4 whole Burger buns
- 1 cup Vegan coleslaw
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Cut away the core and discard the seeds, then shred the jackfruit pieces with a fork to create a pulled texture.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the paprika, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet, stirring to coat with the spice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes.
Pour in the BBQ sauce, stir to combine, and lower the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and has absorbed the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a generous amount of the vegan pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun. Top with vegan coleslaw and place the top bun over the filling.
Serve the vegan pulled pork burgers warm and enjoy!
