Serves 4
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 ripe jackfruit
½ yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup BBQ sauce
2 teaspoons cumin
A pinch of ground cayenne
Salt and Pepper to taste
4 seeded hamburger buns
1. To prep the jackfruit, coat a knife with the coconut oil before cutting in half and quartering. Pull pieces of the jackfruit flesh apart, discarding seeds, and white stringy pieces. Collect the yellow meat in a bowl and measure 2 cups. You may also use one 20 oz can of green jackfruit in brine, drained and shredded.
2. Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. After a minute, add the onion, stir and sauté for a few minutes, until fragrant. Add the garlic and stir.
3. Add the shredded jackfruit meat to the skillet, followed by the cumin, salt, pepper, and BBQ sauce. Stir well to combine.
4. Cook the jackfruit mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 7-10 minutes.
5. Toast hamburger buns and serve jackfruit in the center.
