Ingredients

• 2 20oz Cans of Young Green Jackfruit in Brine or Water (not in syrup!)
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• ½ an Onion, sliced
• 3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
• ¼ Cup Vegetable Broth or Water
• ¾ Cup BBQ Sauce

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Lightly grease a baking pan.
• Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Cut the jackfruit into smaller pieces by cutting it from core to the edge for the most pulled texture (see photos).
• Add the olive oil to a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and when hot add the onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add in the chopped jackfruit and vegetable broth. Cover and continue to cook another 8 to 10 minutes, until the jackfruit is soft enough that it can be mashed. Mash the jackfruit with potato masher, until it breaks apart and looks pulled or shredded.
• To finish the jackfruit spread in an even layer across the baking pan and then pop it in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and pour over ½ cup BBQ sauce and stir to combine. Toss it back in the oven for about 10 minutes, until it looks delicious and golden and even a few strands get a bit burnt. Remove from the oven and if desired stir in the remaining ¼ cup of BBQ sauce to make it even saucier.
