A delicious BBQ addition to you meatless meals! Even meat eaters will love this dish!
Ingredients
2 cans of Jackfruit (in water, not brine or syrup) drained and rinsed
3/4 cup BBQ sauce of your choice (just watch the sugar content) or more if you like
BBQ seasonings (we used 2 T coconut sugar + 1 tsp paprika + 1 tsp garlic powder + 1/2 tsp chili powder)
1 T Avocado or Olive Oil
Avocado
4 buns
Broccoli Slaw:
Bag of Broccoli Slaw (find this in the produce section of your favorite grocery store)
1/4 cup Veganaise or good quality mayonnaise
3 T Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 T Honey
1/2 tsp. Celery Seed
1–2 Chopped scallions
Instructions
1.) Empty the bag of slaw into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2.) In a small bowl, mix together the veganaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, and celery seed – stir to combine.
3.) Pour dressing over the bowl of slaw, add scallions and mix together. Place in the refrigerator so that the flavors have a chance to combine. If you can do this a day ahead of time – even better!
4.) While the slaw is cooling off in the fridge, start working on the BBQ jackfruit. Drain, rinse, and thoroughly dry the canned fruit. Slice off the center/core part of the fruit and discard.
5.) In a separate bowl, toss the jackfruit with the bbq seasoning so that it is covered evenly.
6.) Heat oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, add the seasoned jackfruit and sauté about 3-4 minutes.
7.) Pour the sauce over the fruit and stir. If you are using a thick BBQ sauce you can add a tablespoon of water. For a more shredded texture, use a fork to pull the pieces apart. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and let cook for 20-30 minutes (the longer you let cook, the deeper the flavor).
8.) To plate, open your bun and place some slices of avocado on the bottom, then a spoonful of the slaw. Top with the BBQ jackfruit mixture and option to add a little more BBQ sauce on top. Place the other half of the bun on and ENJOY!!
