These vegan Pulled Jackfruit Burgers with Beet BBQ Sauce are a delicious and plant-based twist on the classic pulled pork sandwich. The jackfruit is simmered in a tangy beet BBQ sauce, giving it a sweet and smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the crunchy coleslaw. Whether you're a vegan or just looking to try something new, these burgers are a must-try!
Ingredients: 2 cans of young green jackfruit in water or brine. 1 cup of beet BBQ sauce store-bought or homemade. 4 burger buns. 1 small red onion, thinly sliced. 1 cup of coleslaw mix cabbage and carrots. 4 lettuce leaves. 4 slices of vegan cheese optional. 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Pat it dry and shred it with your hands or forks, removing any seeds or tough cores. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded jackfruit and saut for 5-7 minutes, until it starts to brown slightly. Pour in the beet BBQ sauce and stir to coat the jackfruit. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water if needed to prevent sticking. While the jackfruit simmers, prepare the coleslaw by mixing the coleslaw mix with a few tablespoons of the beet BBQ sauce in a separate bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a griddle until lightly golden. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a generous portion of the pulled jackfruit, a slice of vegan cheese if desired, and some thinly sliced red onion. Add a scoop of the coleslaw mixture on top of the jackfruit, and then drizzle extra beet BBQ sauce over the coleslaw. Finally, place the top half of the bun on the burger, and secure everything with a toothpick if necessary. Serve your Pulled Jackfruit Burgers with Beet BBQ Sauce immediately, and enjoy!
