BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sliders

by

This was my first time playing with jackfruit, and – WOW – was it a success!!! I mean… YUM! I have been seeing jackfruit recipes popping up a lot lately and had to give it a try for myself. My local market has been stocked with fresh, young jackfruit recently and my dear grocer was kind enough to cut me a few slices. Note – jackfruits are among the largest fruit and can get pricey if you are going to purchase whole. PLUS, you only need about 1 cup of the fruits pulp for this recipe! Moving right along…

This recipe calls for THREE THINGS –

Super soft SLIDER ROLLS

Crispy, creamy, and tangy COLESLAW

And the star of the show, smokey, BBQ sauce-y PULLED JACKFRUIT !

The pic below is what the pulp looks like after it has been removed from the tough exterior. Pretty, pretty…

Once I have the pulled jackfruit to this point, I add it to some boiling water or veg broth and cook it down  on the stovetop, following that up with seasonings and BBQ sauce… for the win!

VOILA! BBQ Pulled Jackfruit!

What is a BBQ slider without coleslaw though? I mean, really?

I like to do a tri-colored slaw using shredded broccoli stems, carrots, and red cabbage. Add a little vegan mayo, ACV, agave, salt and pepper and you’re done.

Once the jackfruit and coleslaw are prepped, assembly is as EASY AS ONE, TWO, THREE!
