These days everyone seems to be making BBQ jackfruit.

As they should! Its and easy and delicious recipe that even omnivores seem to enjoy.

Jackfruit’s texture easily mimics that of any shredded meat! Its super affordable and so easy to work with.

I learned early on when cooking jackfruit that they key is low and slow. The longer you cook it, the more flavorful it will be.

This why I always cook my BBQ jackfruit in a crock pot. It is the easiest no fuss recipes, and turns out perfectly every time.

Pile it up on a sandwich like, this BBQ and slaw slider or just eat it on its own. Either way, we think you will be pretty happy with the outcome!

INGREDEITNES:

2 cans of jackfruit in brine
1 bottle of BBQ sauce
1/2 package broccoli slaw
1/4 cup vegan mayo
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Crook pot method

Drain the jackfruit and separate pieces with your fingers to resemble shredded meat.
Put the shredded jackfuit along with 1 bottle of BBQ sauce and 1/4 cup water into a crock pot, and cook on medium heat for 5 - 6 hours.

Stove top method

Place the shredded jackfruit, BBQ sauce and water in a large pot or dutch oven and cook over medium/low heat, stirring occasionally for 1 hour, or longer if you have the time, on low heat.

To make the slaw, in a bowl, combine the slaw mix and remaining ingredients. Assemble sandwiches with the BBQ and slaw!

This recipes works great for parties. Just substitute hamburger buns with slider buns.

The longer jackfuit cooks in the BBQ sauce, the more flavorful it becomes. I have served it to plenty of meat eaters who were actually surprised it was not meat. I tend to prefer it in the crockpot because it really does become more flavorful cooking all day, but the stove top method works fine too as long as you have time to let it cook low and slow.
