Jackfruit Vegan Recipes: Jackfruit BBQ Bowl

Truth be told I never cared much for BBQ...but that was because I hadn't tried it homemade! The difference is night and day! Honestly you can pour homemade BBQ sauce on anything and it will taste delicious.

This jackfruit vegan recipe is particularly yummy though because of it's texture. Jackfruit is often called the "vegan pulled pork." You'll get the same chewiness and jackfruit soaks up BBQ EVEN better I would venture to say!

Try this recipe at your next cook-out or just when you feel like smothering something in BBQ sauce!

Makes: 2 to 4 bowls 
Prep Time: 5 minutes 
Cooking Time: 15 - 20 minutes

3. Finally, add jackfruit to BBQ sauce in skillet, stir well and leave to simmer over medium low heat for 10 - 15 minutes. (You can press on the jackfruit with a fork to separate it and get more of that stringy texture.) Adjust taste as needed and assemble your bowl.
