Easy BBQ Jackfruit Saute Recipe
Easy BBQ Jackfruit Saute Recipe
"This recipe is super easy and quick to make, but if this is your first attempt cooking jackfruit then make sure you buy young green jackfruit and not sweet ripe jackfruit for this dish. Jackfruit has been all the rage in the US so I had to give it a try and see what it was all about! The whole phenomena started because someone discovered that young jackfruit could be used as a meat-substitute in that it formed meat-like shreds and could soak up flavors from the sauces it’s cooked in. This makes it great for dishes like this one which is similar to BBQ pulled “pork.” There’s also a version of this recipe for the slow cooker if you prefer cooking that way"
