Veggie Pulled Pork Sandwich RecipesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #food7 years ago (edited)

I didn't intend on becoming a vegetarian, but it's happening.

On my mission to find delicious vegetarian recipes, I came across an awesome vegan pulled pork recipe that uses jackfruit instead of pork as the filling: https://www.buzzfeed.com/vaughnvreeland/vegans-can-still-enjoy-barbecue-with-this-pulled-pork?utm_term=.wu60VyraWm#.tu60lK1bYk

I hadn't even heard of jackfruit before, but I was down to try it if it could cure a pork craving. The above recipe uses fresh jackfruit, but I used canned young green jackfruit in water since it was easier.

What you’ll need:

• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups jackfruit, canned
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 2 cups vegetable stock
• ½ cup vegan barbecue sauce
• 6 buns
• Coleslaw

  5. Add the jackfruit, spices, Worcestershire, and liquid smoke. Stir to coat evenly.
  6. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the fruit has broken down.
  7. Spread the jackfruit on a prepared baking sheet and bake at 350ºF/180ºC for 45 minutes, until the liquid has baked out and the jackfruit has a deeper brown color.

  8. Pour the barbecue sauce over the jackfruit, mix, and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
  9. Serve warm on vegan buns with vegan coleslaw.
