Have you heard about jackfruit? Learn how to prepare it so that you can make my delicious pulled jackfruit! Taste and texture very similar to pulled pork, but NOTHING like it calorically!
Ingredients
3-20 oz cans of jackfruit (60 oz or 1695 grams total) rinsed, and de-seeded (see video)-NOT in SYRUP, either brine of water
2 cans of white beans, rinsed and drained (or 4 cups)
1½ cups of diced red onion
¾ cup of tomato sauce
¾ cup BBQ sauce (make sure it's vegan and gluten free if needed-I used Wegmans organic BBQ sauce)
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 tbsp molasses
½ cup water
BBQ spice blend:
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp chili powder-I use a very spicy chili powder-fresh ground red chilis, if yours isn't, add more to taste
Instructions
Rinse and drain jackfruit. Separate seeds (hard, bulb like portions) and core (dense portion, similar to a pineapple part of the fruit) from main fruit portions. See video above on how to do this
Mix BBQ spice blend ingredients and add all ingredients into a crockpot.Cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
Serve with on a hamburger bun or grilled portabella mushroom, and oil-free coleslaw, a large fresh salad, and in-season corn on the cob for an awesome summer-time meal. If you're enjoying this in colder weather, serve with a baked sweet potato and a large massaged kale salad
