Slow-Cooked Jackfruit Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ½ cup diced onion
• ½ cup diced red bell pepper
• 1 (16 ounce) can green jackfruit in brine, drained
• 2 cups plain tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 ½ tablespoons brown mustard
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dried parsley
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 6 hamburger buns

Step 1

Turn on your pressure cooker and setting it to the sauté mode. Add a little oil, then toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper. Let them cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until they soften up. Once that’s done, turn off the sauté function and spread the jackfruit evenly over the veggies.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, sriracha, vinegar, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour this sauce over the jackfruit in the cooker, making sure everything is nicely coated.

Step 3

Lock the lid in place and switch to the slow cook setting. Let it go for about 4 hours so all the flavors can meld together beautifully.

Step 4

When it’s ready, toast your hamburger buns, then pile on the tender jackfruit mixture. Serve and enjoy!
