Why You'll Want This Again

A fantastic plant-based alternative that captures the hearty, savory flavors of a classic pulled pork sandwich. The slow cooker makes the process easy and hands-off, allowing the jackfruit to become tender and soak up all the delicious spices. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy comfort food without meat.

Pro Kitchen Tips

- Rinse and drain the jackfruit well to remove the canned flavor before cooking.
- Use a fork or your hands to shred the jackfruit for a pulled texture.
- If you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce during cooking.

Step 1

Turn on your pressure cooker and selecting the sauté setting. Add a bit of oil, then toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook them for about 3 to 5 minutes until they start to soften. Once that’s done, switch off the sauté mode and spread the jackfruit evenly over the veggies.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, sriracha, vinegar, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour this sauce over the jackfruit and veggies, making sure everything is nicely coated.

Step 3

Lock the lid on your cooker and choose the slow cook function. Let it cook for around 4 hours. When it’s ready, toast your hamburger buns, pile on the jackfruit mixture, and enjoy your delicious sandwiches!

Serving Tips

Serve on toasted buns with pickles, coleslaw, or sliced avocado for added creaminess. It also pairs well with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad to balance the rich flavors.

Storage Suggestions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the cooked jackfruit in portions for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it seems dry.
