- 2 20-oz cans young green jackfruit in brine, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¾ cup vegan BBQ sauce sweet, smoky, or scandalous—your call
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 sandwich buns burger buns or whatever carbs your heart desires
- Optional: coleslaw for that extra crunchy queen vibe
Prep jackfruit: Drain, rinse, pat dry. Use forks to shred jackfruit into “pulled pork” look-alikes.
Sauté aromatics: In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until soft and nosy neighbors show up.
Add jackfruit: Toss shredded fruit into skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, letting it soak up the sass (and oil).
Season up: Stir in vinegar, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper. Mix well, because bland isn't welcome here.
Sauce it: Pour in BBQ sauce. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes until everything’s thick, saucy, and irresistible—like you on date night.
Toast buns: While jackfruit simmers, toast your buns (literally, not metaphorically) for golden perfection.
Assemble: Pile jackfruit onto buns. Add coleslaw if you’re feeling like an overachiever.
Serve hot: Immediately. Preferably with napkins and zero judgment.
