BBQ Jackfruit Sliders w/ Avocado
Ingredients
- 2 cans Young Green Jackfruit, in brine (20 oz. each)
- 1 T dark brown (muscovado) sugar
- 1 t garlic powder
- 1 t onion powder
- 1 t smoked paprika powder
- ¼ t dry mustard powder (optional)
- pinch cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- vegetable oil for pan frying
- 1 cup BBQ sauce, plus more for serving
- water to thin as necessary (up to ¼ cup)
- 1 t molasses (optional for rich color and deeper flavor)
- 1 t liquid mesquite smoke (optional)
Directions
Drain and rinse jackfruit. Cut off the center “core” portion of each piece of jackfruit. Squeeze with hands to remove excess water in jackfruit. Pat dry with paper towels and place in a large mixing bowl. Use hands or potato masher to smush and separate jackfruit in bowl. Add sugar and spices and toss to combine. Heat 1 or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet on medium high heat. Add jackfruit, and toss to coat with oil. Cook, stir-fry style for 4 or 5 minutes, until jackfruit begin to brown. Stir in BBQ sauce. If sauce is too thick, thin with water as necessary or desired. Turn down heat, cover and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove cover and increase heat. Add molasses and liquid smoke. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Enjoy!!
