Ingredients

  • 2 (20 oz) cans young green jackfruit in brine, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 mini burger buns or slider rolls

Instructions

  1. Using your hands or a fork, shred the jackfruit into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the shredded jackfruit, BBQ sauce, vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, liquid smoke (if using), salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve the BBQ pulled jackfruit on mini burger buns or slider rolls, topped with your favorite coleslaw or other toppings.
