BBQ Sauce

5 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp dijon mustard

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

1 tsp garlic powder

¼ cup maple syrup

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp fancy molasses

1 tbsp smoked paprika

4 pitted medjool dates

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

¼ cup of water

'Pulled' Jackfruit

2 14oz cans of young jackfruit in water

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp minced garlic

1/3 cup finely chopped red onion

Pinch of salt

BBQ Sauce

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

'Pulled' Jackfruit

Drain, rinse and de-seed the jackfruit.

Heat olive oil in medium saucepan on med-low heat.

Sauté garlic and red onions with a pinch of salt until till soft (approximately 5 minutes).

Add the jackfruit and ¼ cup of water to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes on medium heat.

Add prepared BBQ sauce. Reduce heat to med-low and simmer for 45 minutes. Stir occasionally, using a wooden spoon to break up the jackfruit to give it a pulled texture. Slowly add ¾ cup of water throughout cooking time as the sauce reduces. Jackfruit is ready when the core of the jackfruit is fork tender and jackfruit has a pulled texture.

Spoon on to buns, serve as is or add toppings of your choice.

Enjoy!
