Ingredients

2x 400g cans Biona Organic Jackfruit

BBQ seasoning :

2 Tbsp Biona Coconut Sugar

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp chili powder

180ml Biona Organic BBQ Sauce + more for topping

Avocado Slaw:

400g shredded cabbage + carrots

1/2 ripe avocado

1 Tbsp Biona Organic Maple Agave Syrup

1 teaspoon Biona Organic Lemon or lime juice

Salt + pepper to taste

Water to thin

For serving:

4-6 whole-grain, or gluten-free buns

1/2 cup roasted organic cashews

Method

Rinse, drain, and thoroughly dry jackfruit.
Mix together BBQ seasoning and add to jackfruit. Toss to coat.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil and seasoned jackfruit and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred.
Add BBQ sauce and thin with enough water to make a sauce. Stir and reduce heat to low- medium and cook for about 20 minutes (up to 35 minutes on low for a deeper flavor).
Remove lid and stir occasionally. TIP: For a finer texture, use two forks to shred the jackfruit as it cooks down.
In the meantime, make slaw by adding all ingredients except vegetables (avocado through salt + pepper) to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Thin with water until a thick sauce is made, then add veggies and toss to coat. Set in the refrigerator until serving.
Once the jackfruit has been properly simmered, turn up the heat to medium-high and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Place generous portions of slaw on the bottom buns, top with a generous serving of BBQ jackfruit and cashews. Serve with extra BBQ sauce!
Leftovers? This jackfruit mix keeps for up to a couple of days in the fridge, so add to your sandwich or salad for lunch the next day!
