Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) jackfruit (canned in brine)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 burger buns
- 2 cups coleslaw
Instructions
Drain and rinse the jackfruit, then pat it dry. Using your hands or a fork, shred the jackfruit into a bowl removing any hard centers or seeds.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Incorporate the shredded jackfruit into the skillet. Pour in the vegetable broth, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke. Stir well to coat the jackfruit evenly.
Add soy sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and ground black pepper. Stir to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit becomes soft and it has absorbed most of the liquid.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the jackfruit mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly. Place in the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes to caramelize and enhance the smoky flavor.
Remove from oven and give it a final stir. Let it cool slightly.
Serve the smoky BBQ jackfruit on burger buns topped with coleslaw for added crunch and freshness.
