Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Burger - makes 2-4, depending on how big your appetites are!
Jackfruit is usually sold in 400g tins in brine. Don't buy the tins sold in syrup!
Ingredients:
400g tin jackfruit in brine, drained and rinsed well
Rapeseed oil
For the BBQ sauce:
2 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp smoked paprika
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp soft brown sugar
pinch salt
2 Tbsp boiling water
1 clove black garlic, made into a paste (regular will do, just mince it)
Method:
-
Prepare jackfruit by cutting out the stalks
-
Rub in 1Tbsp of the BBQ sauce
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick frying pan and add the jackfruit. Turn heat to low
-
Add another 4 Tbsp of the sauce and squash the jackfruit into the pan with the back of a fork.
-
Add the rest of the sauce and cook for 5 mins, stirring frequently. Add a splash of water if it's getting too dry.
Pile the jackfruit onto burger buns and serve with your favourite toppings. I served mine with a carrot and beet slaw
