chopped cilantro or green onions (optional in slaw)
¼cupbleu cheese style dressing
2-3pretzel, ciabatta, brioche, kaiser or onion buns
Instructions
Pulled Jackfruit Filling
Drain jackfruit, gently pull apart into shreds, chopping the hard pieces. Place in a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze out excess water.
Sprinkle with salt, ½-1 teaspoon smoked paprika, harissa or chilli powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder and toss to coat.
Warm the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the jackfruit and stir fry for 5 minutes while it releases remaining water and starts to get some color.
Add your favourite smoky, tangy BBQ sauce homemade or store bought. Heat through until bubbling. Reduce heat to simmer while you prepare the slaw.
Slaw and Dressing
Add shredded cabbage (or use a coleslaw pack from grocery store) to a large bowl. Add the sprouts and toasted sunflower seeds.
Meanwhile, whisk together all slaw dressing ingredients until smooth - taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Toss with cabbage mixture.
Building the Burgers
Slice buns in half, add butter (optional). Warm/grill buns until toasty and golden.
Slather bleu cheese style dressing* on the toasted bun.
Pile some BBQ jackfruit on top (add a drizzle of BBQ sauce if you want a juicier filling).
Add a generous helping of dilly slaw.
Finish with bun top, a pickle and hot peppers if you like.
*I used Earth Island Bleu Cheese Style vegan dressing - it's good!
