Thank you Joe, Nathan, Dustin, Robert and Troy! Your compliments on the sandwich made the effort worth it. Although I use homemade bbq sauce I am defaulting to the original recipe to keep it simple and get it posted. Watch for the homemade bbq sauce coming soon. You guys are the best! Update: Homemade BBQ Sauce is here, with a link to the recipe provided below. Enjoy!

BBQ Jackfruit

  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlice, minced
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 or 2 cans organic young jackfruit, drained and shredded by hand (Native Forest ordered from Amazon)
  • 1/2 cup Imagine vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup My Homemde BBQ Sauce, or store bought bbq sauce of your choice
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Ciabatta Rolls
  • vegan garlic butter (Earth balance blended with fresh garlic cloves)

Directions

  1. Saute onion and garlic in coconut oil.
  2. Add vegetable broth and next 9 ingredients. Blend until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Cook 20 minutes on medium heat or until nearly all liquid has absorbed.
  4. Pour and spread mixture on parchment lined cookie tray, and bake for an additional 20 minutes to crisp the edges and give it more of an authentic pork appearance. You can omit this step and the taste is still amazing.
  5. Spread vegan garlic butter on split ciabatta rolls and broil to golden brown before filling with bbq jackfruit.
  6. Top with additional bbq sauce and vegan cole slaw, if desired.
