Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) canned young green jackfruit
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 pieces slider buns
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned jackfruit thoroughly to remove any brine. Using your hands, shred the jackfruit pieces, removing any hard seeds that may be present.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit starts to brown slightly.
Pour in the barbecue sauce, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the jackfruit to absorb the flavors and become tender.
While the jackfruit mixture is cooking, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, and maple syrup. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Once the jackfruit is tender and well-coated with barbecue sauce, remove it from the heat.
Toast the slider buns on a grill or in a toaster until slightly crispy. On the bottom half of each bun, place a generous scoop of the barbecue jackfruit mixture.
Top the jackfruit with a scoop of coleslaw, then place the bun top over the coleslaw.
Serve the sliders warm and enjoy!
