This jackfruit pulled "pork" recipe is for vegans and anyone else who wants an interesting and healthy version of pulled pork. It satisfied the craving of this nine-year vegetarian! You can eat this right away in a sandwich with coleslaw or however you choose, but it’s best to let it sit overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it. This is especially important if you don’t have a slow cooker and make it in a skillet instead.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped Vidalia onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 pounds young green jackfruit packed in water, drained
- 2 cups barbecue sauce, or more to taste
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saut? until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add jackfruit; cook and stir until lightly browned and relatively free of moisture, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer jackfruit mixture to a slow cooker and cover with barbecue sauce. Cover and cook on Low, stirring occasionally, until jackfruit shreds easily with a fork, about 6 hours.
Tips
You can use jackfruit in brine, but it's harder to flavor. Don't use the ripe kind that comes in syrup. If using frozen jackfruit, defrost it before using, then rinse to remove all seeds and pods. Squeeze out as much water as possible with your hands.
