Fresh Jackfruit Pulled Pork Style BBQ Sliders
25 min prep
30 min cook
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Brisket rub, plus more as needed to coat jackfruit well
- 8 lb Jackfruit, this recipe will work for almost any size of jackfruit
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus more as needed
- 1/2 cup Mexican beer
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil, as needed for coating knife
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh white onion(s), thinly sliced or julienned
Instructions
- Before cutting into jackfruit, coat your knife with coconut oil. If jackfruit is fully ripened it won't be as sticky. Typically most are picked before fully ripe and juice inside tends to be extremely sticky.
- Cut jackfruit in half, then again into quarters. Begin to pull pieces of yellow or orange flesh apart, discarding seeds and any white stringy pieces. Collect yellow meat in a bowl and set aside. An 8 to 10 lb. jackfruit will yield 2 to 4 cups of edible fruit.
- Season jackfruit with brisket rub and toss to coat well. Set aside and place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and onions and stir fry until onions are translucent.
- Add jackfruit and cook stirring constantly until it begins to soften. Approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Add beer and cook until liquid is mostly evaporated.
- Add barbecue sauce, turn down heat, cook until bubbly and jackfruit begins to fall apart when pressure is added and mixture thickens and slightly resembles pulled pork.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper as needed. Serve on a slider bun or over rice.
- Garnish with desired toppings like onions, cilantro, or pickles.
