Bbq Jerk Jackfruit Recipes

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.

BBQ JACKFRUIT EMPANADAS

Steps:

• For the aioli: Add a splash of olive oil to a medium nonstick skillet. Add the peppers, onions and garlic to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the peppers and onions until they are translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Add the peppers, onions, garlic, mustard and more pepper to a food processor. Add the egg yolks to the food processor. Turn the food processor on and slowly add the olive oil. Finish with salt, pepper and red wine vinegar. Mix thoroughly and put in the fridge.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drain the jackfruit. In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and saute the garlic and onions until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the jackfruit, water and pepper. Toss to combine and simmer until the jackfruit is tender, 7 to 8 minutes. When done, use a potato masher to break up the jackfruit into strands like pulled pork. Add the BBQ sauce and mix well.
• Spread the jackfruit out evenly on a baking sheet and bake until the BBQ sauce is caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove the mixture from the oven and cool. Once cooled, add a light drizzle of BBQ sauce.
• For the empanadas: Place 1 tablespoon of filling in each frozen empanada disc. Wet the edges of the disc with water and then fold in half to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal.
• Heat 3 inches of canola oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. Fry the empanadas in small batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. When done remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt. Serve with a side of your favorite BBQ sauce and the red bell pepper aioli.
