Equipment
- Sauté pan or skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon or Spatula
- knife and cutting board
- Mandolin (optional, for shaving cabbage finely)
- Small whisk (for mixing Sriracha mayo)
- Citrus juicer (for lime juice)
- Serving platter or individual plates for sliders
Ingredients
Jackfruit Filling:
- 31/2 cups green jackfruit (from a pouch or can), drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 small white onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup smoky BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable stock
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Quick Slaw:
- 3 cups finely shaved green cabbage
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Assembly:
- 8 slider-size buns, toasted if desired
- 1 cup thin dill pickle rounds
- 1/2 cup sriracha mayo
Instructions
Prepare the Jackfruit Filling:
- Cut the inner cores of the jackfruit into strips (they don’t shred like the rest of the fruit).
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until lightly browned, 4-6 minutes.
- Add the jackfruit and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 4-6 minutes until browned. Add the garlic in the final 2 minutes of cooking.
- Stir in BBQ sauce, sriracha, and vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the jackfruit mixture is thick but still saucy, stir in ¼ cup of cilantro and remove from heat.
Make the Quick Slaw:
- Toss the shaved cabbage with lime juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, and the remaining ¼ cup cilantro.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Assemble the Sliders:
- Spoon a generous amount of the BBQ jackfruit onto the bottom half of each bun.
- Top with a scoop of slaw, a few pickle slices, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
- Close the sliders with the top bun and serve immediately.
