Bbq Jackfruit Recipes

JACK FRUIT BARBECUE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Drain jackfruit in a colander. Place in large skillet over medium high heat. Chop up with spatula or chopper* and stir often for 5-10 minutes until more water is evaporated.
• Add in enough bbq sauce to taste- I usually add about a cup. Stir and continue cooking until heated through. Serve on buns and enjoy!

BBQ PULLED JACKFRUIT SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the coleslaw mix, cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Combine the jackfruit with the chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Add the jackfruit and cook, tossing occasionally, until the spices are fragrant 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the barbecue sauce to the skillet along with 3 cups water, stir, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Uncover the skillet, turn the heat to high and simmer until the color has deepened and the sauce is thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, smash the jackfruit until it resembles a pulled pork consistency and season to taste with salt, pepper and light brown sugar if you would like it sweeter. Serve on the potato buns topped with the coleslaw.

VEGAN PULLED JACKFRUIT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion until very soft, for around 10-12 mins. Add the cinnamon, cumin and paprika to the onions and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Next add the Tabasco, vinegar and bbq sauce and mix well before adding in the tomato, the drained jackfruit and 200ml water. Leave to simmer gently, covered, for 30 mins stirring every 5-10 mins to help break down the jackfruit, then take the lid off and cook a further 10 minutes.
• Once cooked, use a fork to make sure all of the jackfruit is well shredded. Check seasoning and add another tbsp of bbq sauce if necessary for extra stickiness.

BBQ JERK JACKFRUIT

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, peel the off skin off of the jackfruit with a sharp knife (think of taking the rind off of a watermelon). Half the jackfruit piece and separate the inside of the jackfruit from the pods with your hands. Keep the fibrous and more yellow parts, discard the pods. Carefully drop the pieces of jackfruit in the boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and shake off any excess water.
• Meanwhile, fill a medium pot with the oil and attach a deep fat-fry thermometer, bring to medium heat (about 350 degrees F). Fry the boiled jackfruit in batches, turning as needed, until slightly brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining jackfruit.
• Combine the full BBQ Jerk recipe (5 cups; see recipe below) with the fried jackfruit in a medium saucepan and reheat over medium-low until hot.
• To serve: To a plate, add piles of BBQ jerk jackfruit and lo main. Garnish the jackfruit with the sweet-and-tangy peppers, charred corn, caramelized onions and crumbled queso fresco.
• Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, allspice, garlic powder, jerk seasoning, browning seasoning and scotch bonnet in a medium bowl. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions for al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water. Toss the noodles with oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic powder, turmeric and red chili flakes in a small bowl.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Lower the heat and add the chow mein sauce and cook for a minute. Add the cooked noodles and stir to coat.
• Whisk together the sugar, vinegar, water and seasoning salt in a medium bowl. Seed and stem the bell pepper and cut into thick slices.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the peppers cook, stirring, until they have slightly caramelized. Add the sugar-vinegar mixture, bring to a simmer, and cook until much of the liquid has evaporated and the peppers are further caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes.
