Flavorful BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich Recipe
Hello! Today I have a very special recipe for you: BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich. Believe me, these sandwiches are both delicious and fun! Especially if you're throwing a party, it's a great way to surprise your guests. You can prepare in advance, then heat the jackfruit and quickly assemble the sandwiches. Removing the seeds might take some time, but trust me, once you see the result, you'll think it's worth it.
- 2 chipotle peppers (from canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce)
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (20-ounce) can young jackfruit (drained)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup water
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 mini sandwich buns (or 6 hamburger buns)
- Desired garnishes (pickles, mustard, serrano peppers, etc.)
First, let's prepare the BBQ sauce. Add the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and black pepper to a food processor and blend well. Set it aside to let the sauce rest.
To prepare the jackfruit, gently shred the pieces with your hands. The core parts might be a bit tough, you can discard them. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add the onions and salt, and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the jackfruit to the softened onions and cook for another 5 minutes. Add a bit of water if necessary to prevent sticking.
Now add half of the sauce and ½ cup of water to the pan and stir. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Then add half of the remaining sauce and stir, saving the other half for serving.
Time for the cabbage slaw! In a medium bowl, mix the cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. That's it, so easy!
Now we come to the most enjoyable part. Take the sandwich buns, add the jackfruit, remaining BBQ sauce, cabbage slaw, and any other desired toppings. Enjoy your meal!

For those who like their BBQ sauce a bit spicier, add extra chipotle peppers. Toasting your bread can give you a crunchier texture. Pickles and mustard make great sides, I recommend trying them.
