Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 40 ounces canned jackfruit, (packed in water, drained)
  • 1 large onion, (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder, (adjust for desired heat)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup bbq sauce, (see notes)

Instruction

  • Begin by draining the jackfruit and rinsing well under cold water. Using your fingers, massage the jackfruit and break the pieces apart; set aside
  • In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil, add the onion and jackfruit; sauté until the onion is slightly caramelized
  • Add the remaining ingredients with the exception of the bbq sauce.  Continue to sauté over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir often because brown sugar will burn easily.
  • Once cooked, use a fork to press the remaining larger pieces of jackfruit so that the pieces fall apart and resemble the fibers of cooked pork.
  • Add one cup of your favourite bbq sauce and stir into the pork.  Continue to cook until sauce is heated through.
