Ingredients
Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add jackfruit; cook and stir until lightly browned and relatively free of moisture, about 10 minutes.
Transfer jackfruit mixture to a slow cooker and cover with barbecue sauce. Cover and cook on Low, stirring occasionally, until jackfruit shreds easily with a fork, about 6 hours.
Recipe Tips
You can use jackfruit in brine, but it's harder to flavor. Don't use the ripe kind that comes in syrup. If using frozen jackfruit, defrost it before using, then rinse to remove all seeds and pods. Squeeze out as much water as possible with your hands.
You can use a dry rub or marinate the jackfruit in barbecue sauce or seasonings before cooking if you like. This will help if you use the brined version.
If you don't have a slow cooker, cook jackfruit in a skillet (preferably cast iron) until easily shredded, about 2 hours.
