MAPLE BUFFALO PULLED JACKFRUIT SANDWICHES

Tender jackfruit is simmered in spicy maple Buffalo sauce and stuffed into buns to make these mouthwatering pulled jackfruit sandwiches.

These sandwiches were initially going to be sliders. I’ve never made sliders, so obviously I don’t have any slider recipes on the blog, and I thought it seemed like about time I changed that. I even went out and bought some slider buns.  And then I realized I don’t really think sliders are that great an idea. Maybe that’s why I’ve never made them before!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 20 ounce cans young green jackfruit, drained
• 2/3 cup cayenne pepper hot sauce,Franks works best
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• About 1 cup water
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving (optional)

• 4 to 6 sandwich rolls, sliced open
• Lettuce
• Tomato
• Avocado
• Vegan Mayo

Instructions

• Coat the bottom of a medium saucepan with oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute more, until very fragrant. Add the jackfruit, hot sauce, maple syrup, tomato paste, liquid smoke, and 1 cup of water. Stir well, bring the mixture to a simmer and allow to cook, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Stir every few minutes and after about 10 minutes begin using a couple of forks to break up and pull apart the pieces of jackfruit. It should be stringy and tender by the time it's done cooking. Continue to simmer until the jackfruit is very tender, about 20 minutes total. You can add a bit of water during cooking if the sauce gets too thick.
• Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
