Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) jackfruit (canned in brine)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 burger buns
- 2 cups coleslaw
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the jackfruit, then pat it dry. Using your hands or a fork, shred the jackfruit into a bowl removing any hard centers or seeds.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Incorporate the shredded jackfruit into the skillet. Pour in the vegetable broth, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke. Stir well to coat the jackfruit evenly.
Step 5
Add soy sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and ground black pepper. Stir to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit becomes soft and it has absorbed most of the liquid.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 8
Transfer the jackfruit mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly. Place in the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes to caramelize and enhance the smoky flavor.
Step 9
Remove from oven and give it a final stir. Let it cool slightly.
Step 10
Serve the smoky BBQ jackfruit on burger buns topped with coleslaw for added crunch and freshness.
