Prep 5 minutes
Cook 10 minutes
Recipe Makes (Approximate): 4

Ingredients

  • 8 ounce coleslaw mix
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (See notes)
  • 40 ounces jackfruit (about 2 cans, in water)
  • 2 teaspoons barbecue rub
  • 1 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 4 brioche buns (See notes)
  • pickles (sliced)

Instructions

  • Mix together the vinegar, coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few pinches of pepper in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Drain and seed jackfruit. Pull apart with two forks or use a hand mixer on low to break apart.
  • Add the BBQ rub, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the jackfruit and combine.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the jackfruit, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the BBQ sauce to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cover. Stir occasionally and cook about 5 minutes or until tender.
  • For the buns, heat up a little vegan butter in a skillet. Add buns, cut side down, and toast until golden and lightly browned in spots. Serve jackfruit on buns with coleslaw and pickles, if desired.

Recipe Notes

  • For vegan: Use vegan mayonnaise.
  • Bun alternatives: Use potato buns or gluten-free buns
