Instructions

STEP 1:

brine

Pour the contents of the can of jackfruit into a strainer to get rid of the brine or water. Thoroughly rinse the jackfruit and shake it to get rid of excess liquid.

STEP 2:

barbecue sauce

Transfer the jackfruit into a medium-sized bowl and pour enough barbecue sauce to evenly coat the jackfruit (about ½ a cup), then cover and place in the fridge to marinate for about an hour.

STEP 3:

clove
garlic
onion

As the jackfruit marinates, chop ¼ of an onion (or add up to ½ of an onion) and the two garlic cloves, and set aside.

STEP 4:

garlic
grape
oil
onion
vegetable oil

Once the jackfruit is ready, remove it from the fridge. Pour about a tablespoon of vegetable oil (option for grapeseed oil) into a medium pan on medium heat. Then add chopped onion and garlic.

STEP 5:

Sautee for 3-5 minutes, then add the jackfruit and barbeque sauce along with ½ a cup of water. (Place the bowl aside to be used later).

STEP 6:

ice

Cover and reduce heat, simmering for 10 minutes. Stir, cover, and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until a fork can easily slice through the jackfruit without picking it up.

STEP 7:

pork

Remove from heat and transfer back to the medium-sized bowl. Using a fork or mashing tool, shred the jackfruit so it resembles pulled pork.

STEP 8:

barbecue sauce
paprika
pepper
salt

Mix in smoked paprika, salt, pepper, or more barbecue sauce if desired.

STEP 9:

dill
pork

I usually eat jackfruit to replace pork on burger buns, but you could use it for a variety of meals! I’ve used it on quesadillas, tacos, and Buddha Bowls.
