Pulled Jackfruit

Buns and Toppings

Method

Pulled Jackfruit Preparation

  1. 1

    Drain and Rinse Jackfruit

    Open the cans of young green jackfruit, drain the liquid, and rinse the jackfruit pieces under cold water to remove excess brine.

  2. 2

    Shred Jackfruit

    Using your hands or two forks, shred the jackfruit pieces into a pulled meat texture. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Spices and Jackfruit

    Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and mix well to coat with the spices.

  5. 5

    Cook Jackfruit

    Pour in the BBQ sauce and stir to combine. Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the jackfruit is tender and fully absorbs the flavors.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare the vegan burger buns by toasting them lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a generous portion of the BBQ jackfruit on the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw, sliced pickles, and avocado slices.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled ingredients. Serve immediately with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
