Introduction
This is a delicious vegan alternative to pulled pork, found on http://chowvegan.com/2008/05/28/bbq-pulled-jackfruit-sandwich/. Canned young green jackfruit in brine is unripe, and what you want for this recipe. It’s prepared as a vegetable and is also known as “vegetable meat”. Don't get the ripe kind!
This also needs time to sit and marinate after cooking, so make it a day ahead of time. You will not like the flavour after immediate cooking. This is a delicious vegan alternative to pulled pork, found on http://chowvegan.com/2008/05/28/bbq-pulled
