Ingredients
  

2 cans young green jackfruit in brine or water (not syrup), drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)

4 hoagie rolls or sub buns

1 cup coleslaw (optional, for topping)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Jackfruit: Start by cutting the jackfruit into smaller pieces, discarding the hard core in the center and any seeds.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Cook the Jackfruit: Add the jackfruit pieces to the skillet. Use a fork or tongs to break apart the jackfruit while stirring it into the sautéed onions and spices. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

        Add BBQ Sauce: Pour in the BBQ sauce and stir well to incorporate it into the jackfruit mixture. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the jackfruit to absorb the flavors and break down further.

          Prepare the Buns: As the jackfruit cooks, you can toast the hoagie rolls if desired. Simply place them under the broiler for a minute or two until slightly crispy.

            Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the jackfruit mixture is ready, spoon generous amounts onto each hoagie roll. Top with coleslaw if you like the added crunch and creaminess.

              Garnish and Serve: Optionally, finish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan BBQ shredded jackfruit sandwiches!
