Description

This jackfruit pulled "pork" recipe is made in a slow cooker with barbecue sauce and onion. Its flavor and texture are a great substitute for the real thing!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped Vidalia onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 pounds young green jackfruit packed in water, drained
2 cups barbeque sauce, or more to taste

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add jackfruit; cook and stir until lightly browned and relatively free of moisture, about 10 minutes.
2 Transfer jackfruit mixture to a slow cooker and cover with barbecue sauce. Cover and cook on Low, stirring occasionally, until jackfruit shreds easily with a fork, about 6 hours.
