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!
