Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup red or yellow onion diced
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 2 cups fresh jackfruit meat
  • 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce Organic, Vegan and Gluten-Free
  • 1 cup filtered water divided, more if needed
  • 2 green onions minced
  • 4 sprigs cilantro minced

Instructions

  1. heat a large skillet (with a fitted lid) with olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add diced onion and a pinch of sea salt. Sauté for 2 - 3 minutes, or until onion starts to soften and become translucent.
  2. Add jackfruit meat, BBQ sauce and 1/2 cup filtered water, give everything a quick stir and cover with fitted lid. Simmer for about 10 minutes, checking occasionally to stir. Add 1/2 cup more filtered water, give another quick stir and sauté for about 5 - 10 minutes more.  If liquid ever seems to be too low add more filtered water 1/2 cup at a time. Continue to simmer until jackfruit is tender. This should take about 20 minutes total.
  3. Using a potato masher, or a large fork, mash the jackfruit. Add green onions and cilantro and stir again to combine.
  4. Taste for seasoning and adjust sea salt as necessary. Serve with corn tortillas or our homemade Nut Free Paleo Tortillas.
