BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sandwiches
with Creamy Coleslaw & Pickles
Jackfruit's dense flesh is neutral in flavor, making it a great meat substitute, capable of absorbing other flavors. Once cooked, jackfruit is easily pulled into shreds, mimicking pulled pork. Creamy, crisp coleslaw and tangy pickles tie this sandwich together for a comfort-food classic.
