Boozy BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich
Aya Brackett
PUBLISHED March 19, 2020
This sandwich puts the power of barbecue sauce to work on a stringy, chewy tropical fruit. The combo can be so reminiscent of meat it freaks out some all-the-time vegans.
A note on buying jackfruit: You want “young” or “green” canned jackfruit, not the fully ripe, stinky fruit. Stay away from the kind packed in syrup; choose a brand canned in water or brine and rinse it thoroughly to remove as much of the vinegary taste as possible. If you see frozen plain jackfruit, grab some. To use, thaw under cold running water (or in the fridge), squeeze it dry, and proceed. The sauced jackfruit will be even better reheated the next day.
