Pulled Jackfruit BBQ Sandwiches
Author: 
Yield: 4 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, minced
  • 1 (16-ounce) can water-packed jackfruit, drained and shredded or thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ cups barbecue sauce, store-bought or homemade (recipe follows)
  • 4 sandwich rolls, split and toasted
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the jackfruit and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and season with the paprika and salt and pepper to taste. Add as much of the barbecue sauce as desired, stirring to mix well. Use a fork (or two) to break up the jackfruit. If hard pieces remain, remove them to a cutting board and finely chop, then return them to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes to heat through and blend the flavors. Pile the jackfruit mixture onto the toasted sandwich rolls. Serve hot.
