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.
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!
