Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh jackfruit ‘pods’, seeds removed and cut in half (around 100 g)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 100ml vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp BBQ sauce
  • 1 sandwich or burger bun

For the kale coleslaw:

  • 1/4 small red onion, very thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp extra low-fat mayo
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard

Pulled Jackfruit Sandwiches Ingredients


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F

2. In a pan (large enough to spread the jackfruit out so they aren’t overlapping too much) add everything but the bbq sauce. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat a little and cover. Cook for 15 minutes.

Step 1 - boil the jackfruit

3. Tip the contents of the pan onto a foil-lined baking tray or into a wide baking dish. Using two forks, ‘shred’ the jackfruit so it’s in strips. Stir in the BBQ sauce and place in the oven for 15 minutes.

Step 2 - pull the jackfruit with forks Step 3 - Roast with BBQ sauce

4. While it’s cooking make the coleslaw by combining all the ingredients in a large bowl. Get the buns ready to toast as soon as the jackfruit is ready.

5. Serve on a toasted bun with the kale coleslaw piled on the top. 

Notes

  1. While I used fresh ripe jackfruit, you can also use tinned ‘young’ fruit. This will actually give a less sweet and less soft result. 
  2. If you are looking for a vegan option then you can dress the slaw with vinaigrette dressing or a vegan-friendly dressing.
