Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Burgers

Vegan Pulled Jackfruit Burger Recipe

Jackfruit is a fantastic meat alternative in vegan cooking. It pulls apart just like shredded meat and it has a subtle sweetness, which goes perfectly with our choice of spices.

  • You can easily make these gluten-free using gluten-free BBQ sauce and burger buns.
  • Tinned jackfruit is now available in most large supermarkets. Alternatively you can also find it in Asian grocery stores.
  • We love to serve these buns with an extra squeeze of BBQ sauce.

Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Burgers

Serves: 2 burgers Prep Time: 8 minutes Cooking Time: 22 minutes 22 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

  • 1 x 565 g (19.9 oz) tin of jackfruit in brine, drained + rinsed
  • olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 burger buns, or gluten-free buns
  • 1 handful of fresh coriander

For the coleslaw:

  • 1 handful of red cabbage, chopped
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • 1/2 lime, juice only
  • salt + pepper

 

Method

  1. Cut out the hard core from each piece of jackfruit and thinly slice the cores.
  2. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan, add all the jackfruit, along with the cumin, paprika and chilli powder, and fry for 2 minutes.
  3. Next add the BBQ sauce and cook on a low-medium heat for 20 minutes. As the sauce thickens, add 1/4 cup of water and continue to cook. When the jackfruit becomes tender, use a wooden mixing spoon to break it down into pulled jackfruit.
  4. To prepare the coleslaw, put the red cabbage, carrot, lime juice and pinches of salt and pepper into a mixing bowl and stir to combine. 
  5. To serve, place a generous spoonful of pulled jackfruit on the bottom half of each burger bun, followed by a handful of coleslaw and coriander leaves. Put the other half of the bun on top.

Hi,

Can I use frozen instead of canned jackfruit?
Thanks so much!

We haven’t tested this but we don’t see why not!

What else might work in place of the bbq sauce? I was thinking maybe hoisin or similar?

Ben, So Vegan July 13, 2021 - 8:26 pm

Hoisin would be great! You could even try a curry paste 🙂
