INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ cup scotch, bourbon, or other whiskey (or water for alcohol-free)
  • ¼ cup cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 2 15-ounce cans green jackfruit in water or brine 
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 buns or ciabatta rolls

STEPS

1

Chop the onion. Mince the garlic.

2

In a medium saucepan, combine the, whiskey, vinegar, soy sauce, onion, garlic, chili powder, and paprika over medium heat. Cook at a steady simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the sauce thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. 

3

Rinse and drain the jackfruit in a colander, pressing down to extract as much water as possible. Run your hands through the pieces, pulling and separating them into shreds with your fingers.

4

Place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add the jackfruit and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp in places, 2 to 3 minutes. 

5

Add the sauce and bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently. Cook, stirring once in a while, until the sauce has thickened and the jackfruit has absorbed some of the flavor,

6

When you are ready to eat, slice the buns or rolls and divide the jackfruit among the rolls,
