Ingredients

  • 2 cans (20 oz each) young green jackfruit, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare Jackfruit: Cut the jackfruit into smaller pieces, removing any seeds and tough core parts.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic until softened.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add jackfruit, sautéed onion and garlic, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
  4. Add Liquid: Pour vegetable broth over the mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until jackfruit is tender.

  • Adjust BBQ sauce quantity to taste for more or less sweetness.
  • Add extra spices like cayenne for a spicier kick.
