Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) Canned young green jackfruit in water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegan barbecue sauce
- 12 buns Vegan slider buns
- 2 cups Coleslaw mix
- 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
Instructions
Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Cut off the core portion and shred the jackfruit pieces with a fork to resemble pulled meat.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the shredded jackfruit, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the jackfruit in the spices.
Cook the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender.
Stir in the vegan barbecue sauce, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and flavors are well incorporated.
While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare the coleslaw by mixing the coleslaw mix, vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Toast the vegan slider buns if desired.
To assemble, place a generous scoop of the pulled jackfruit on the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with a scoop of coleslaw and then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan pulled pork sliders!
