Jack Fruit Barbecue Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the coleslaw mix, cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Combine the jackfruit with the chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Add the jackfruit and cook, tossing occasionally, until the spices are fragrant 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the barbecue sauce to the skillet along with 3 cups water, stir, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Uncover the skillet, turn the heat to high and simmer until the color has deepened and the sauce is thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, smash the jackfruit until it resembles a pulled pork consistency and season to taste with salt, pepper and light brown sugar if you would like it sweeter. Serve on the potato buns topped with the coleslaw.

Steps:

• Remove all seeds from jackfruit. Combine jackfruit and BBQ sauce in a slow cooker. Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours.
• Use a fork to shred jackfruit meat. Spread margarine on hamburger buns and place a scoop of jackfruit "meat" on top. Serve immediately

Steps:

• BBQ Sauce:In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until onions are softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute more. Stir in ketchup, Dijon, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, and paprika. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Sandwich:Remove any large knobby pieces from jackfruit and discard. Pour BBQ sauce over jackfruit and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and preferably overnight. To serve, heat jackfruit in a saucepan or microwave. Heat buns, cut-side down, in a dry cast-iron grill or skillet over medium-high until toasted, about 2 minutes. Spread buns with mayonnaise and top with jackfruit and lettuce. Serve, with chips alongside if desired.
