Jackfruit takes on the flavor of the BBQ sauce and other seasonings, reminding most of pulled pork. So pick a BBQ sauce that you absolutely adore. Fear not if you don���t have jackfruit on hand; green mango or artichoke hearts can be a good substitute.
How To Make Jackfruit BBQ Sandwich Recipe
- Start by draining and rinsing the jackfruit. Pat dry and then cut the fruit into smaller pieces so it will cook evenly.
- In the skillet, saut�� your onion and garlic until they are nice and fragrant.
- Add in your jackfruit pieces, vegetable broth and half of the BBQ sauce. Cook this mixture until the jackfruit becomes soft and begins to shred.
- Toast those buns and slather on the remaining BBQ sauce. Then stack your jackfruit mixture high on the bottom bun.
- Cap it off with the top bun. Enjoy immediately!
Tips For The Best Results
- Use a firm spatula or potato masher to shred the cooked jackfruit in the skillet. This helps to achieve that ���pulled pork��� texture.
- Don���t forget to toast the buns! This not only adds an extra layer of flavor, but also keeps the buns from getting soggy from the BBQ sauce.
Storage Tips
- Leftover jackfruit can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
- You can also freeze the jackfruit mixture for up to two months for a future quick meal!
