These Vegan 'Pulled' Jackfruit Sandwiches are a game-changer for plant-based eating and a hit at any barbecue. Young green jackfruit in brine has a neutral flavor and a texture that, when cooked and shredded, uncannily resembles pulled pork. Simmered in a homemade or high-quality store-bought smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet BBQ sauce, the jackfruit absorbs all the classic flavors. Piled high on a soft brioche bun and topped with crunchy, quick-pickled red onions and creamy coleslaw, this sandwich delivers the ultimate satisfying bite with zero meat. It's a fantastic option for Meatless Monday, feeding a mixed-diet crowd, or simply exploring the versatile world of jackfruit. These sandwiches are hearty, messy in the best way, and packed with flavor that will please vegans and meat-eaters alike.
