Ingredients

• 2 cans (20 oz each) Canned young green jackfruit in water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Vegan barbecue sauce
• 12 buns Vegan slider buns
• 2 cups Coleslaw mix
• 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Cut off the core portion and shred the jackfruit pieces with a fork to resemble pulled meat.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the shredded jackfruit, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the jackfruit in the spices.

Step 5

Cook the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit is tender.

Step 6

Stir in the vegan barbecue sauce, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and flavors are well incorporated.

Step 7

While the jackfruit is cooking, prepare the coleslaw by mixing the coleslaw mix, vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 8

Toast the vegan slider buns if desired.

Step 9

To assemble, place a generous scoop of the pulled jackfruit on the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with a scoop of coleslaw and then cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan pulled pork sliders!
