Vegan BBQ Jackfruit Pulled 'Pork'

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by draining and rinsing the jackfruit. Shred the jackfruit pieces by hand or with a fork until they resemble pulled pork.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Incorporate the shredded jackfruit into the pan with the onions and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, allowing the jackfruit to brown slightly.

5. 5

   Pour the vegan barbecue sauce over the jackfruit mixture, stirring to coat evenly. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The jackfruit should absorb the flavors of the sauce and become tender.

6. 6

   Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little water to reach the desired consistency.

7. 7

   Serve the BBQ jackfruit on buns as you would with traditional pulled pork. You can add additional toppings such as coleslaw or pickles if desired.
