BBQ Jackfruit Pulled Pork Sandwich with Creamy Coleslaw

Check out my Jackfruit Pulled Pork Sandwich - it's got this amazingly tender, BBQ-flavored jackfruit that seriously tastes like the real deal, paired with a super creamy and crunchy coleslaw, all in a toasty bun.

Ingredients

Setup

1 yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced1 TBS olive oil
1 can of young jackfruit in water or brine, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 TBS dry rub BBQ seasoning of choice
3/4 C BBQ sauce
1 TBS liquid smoke
1/2 C water, divided
Toasted whole grain buns

Coleslaw

4 cups red or white cabbage (or a mix of), sliced thinly
2 carrots, grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped rough (1/2 amount if dried)
3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (1/2 amount if dried)
1 cup creamy tofu mayo

Directions

Pulled Pork

Preheat Oven to 325 degrees

In a large skillet and over medium high heat, saute the onion for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Do not add any oil, rather, add a tablespoon or two of water or vegetable broth as needed for sticking.

While the onion is cooking, prep the jackfruit by cutting the core away from it with a paring knife and discard You'll only have a little flesh left. Place the jackfruit into a large mixing bowl and shake in your dry rub. Toss to coat.

Blend/whisk the BBQ sauce, liquid smoke and 1/4 cup water together in a small bowl. Add the minced garlic to the hot pan and continue to saute for 30 seconds. To the onion and garlic, add in the seasoned jackfruit and BBQ sauce. Stir to integrate, bring the heat down to a simmer, cover and allow to cook for about 15 minutes.

Check for dryness and add remaining 1/4 cup water (if needed), stir again and continue to cook for 10 more minutes. Take off the lid and begin to shred the jackfruit with a fork. Allow to cook for another 5 minutes or so until some of the liquid has evaporated off.

Spread the jackfruit on a baking pan and bake for 15-20 minutes as this will allow the flavors to really saturate the fruit, becoming more "pork" like.

Coleslaw

Thoroughly mix all ingredients with your hands in a large bowl. Really massage all the flavors together.

Keep the slaw in the bowl and loosely cover. Allow to chill for several hours up to overnight.

Assemble the "pork" on a toasted bun, top with slaw and devour.
