BBQ Jackfruit

with Green Chili Polenta and Collard Apple Slaw

Jackfruit is one of the more unusual ingredients in our repertoire– it really is a fruit, related to the fig, and shreds into something that tastes and resembles pulled pork. We’ve played on that texture in this dish, coating the jackfruit in a sticky-sweet bbq glaze and plating it over a spicy polenta. Making your own bbq sauce adds that perfect tangy sweetness, without all of the added sugar and sodium found in the bottled variety.
