Jackfruit “Pulled Pork” Sandwich

Possibly the best way to enjoy our BBQ Pulled Jackfruit (page 232) is in a veganized pulled pork sandwich. Just grab a bun (or your favorite bread, toasted) and load it up with pulled jackfruit and your toppings of choice. We love adding shredded purple cabbage for crunch and color, plus red onion and tangy dill pickles. This also makes a tasty addition to a party platter (especially around football season). Just double or triple the batch of pulled jackfruit and get extra buns so there’s enough to share, because it’s guaranteed to be a hit.

Yield: 4 sandwiches

Prep time: 5 minutes | Total time: 5 minutes

1 batch BBQ Pulled Jackfruit (page 232)

1 cup finely shredded purple cabbage (or coleslaw, store-bought or from the recipe on page 162)

1 large red onion, finely sliced

Dill pickles, sliced, to taste

4 burger buns, toasted

Assemble each sandwich with a large scoop of hot BBQ pulled jackfruit topped with cabbage or coleslaw, red onion, and pickles on a toasted bun. Devour immediately.

Friendly Suggestion: Some brands of hamburger buns get soggy really easily. If that’s a deal-breaker for you, try using a sturdier roll or ciabatta instead.
