BBQ JACKFRUIT SANDWICH

BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich

BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich with lot of veggies and homemade barbeque sauce. The toast is grilled which gives additional flavour to this already delicious combination.

This is my third jackfruit recipe and I absolutely love the versatility of this amazing fruit giant. However, I also discovered the difference in texture and flavor of the two products I have tried so far. It is something I feel you need to know, especially if you never made jackfruit meal before. Therefore, I am sharing my experience with you today!

For my first two recipes I used Upton’s Naturals and I really liked the texture and the cooking didn’t take very long. However, it was quite sweet and sour, even after rinsing it. It took more seasoning to covered it up than I was planning to use. On the other hand, for the BBQ JACKFRUIT SANDWICH I am using canned Jackfruit by Grace Company . I was happy with the fact that it’s practically tasteless, but there was slight problem with the texture. I actulay liked it so much that I made another recipe with it the PULLED JACKFRUIT on a Bagel.

All the chunks were mostly thick and I couldn’t cut off everything, because I would end up with very little. Also, it was full of seeds and even when I took lots of them out before cooking, there was more showing up during the cooking. Anyway, here are some brads on Amazon, but I suggest you check your supermarket, because you would be waiting a month for it from Amazon now days! I am going to keep looking as well and I keep you posted while I share new jackfruit recipes.

Nevertheless, even while facing little jackfruit challenge, the sandwich turned out absolutely scrumptious! Therefore, you must try it and make sure you grill the bread, because that is incredibly yummy! Oh and you must try my famous BBQ sauce!!! It would be best if you can get those oil free sundried tomatoes and you’ll see what I am talking about. Although, even if they are in oil, just rinse them first and they should be fine. Well, the absolute ideal would be making homemade from tomatoes grown in your garden right? You can find out here, how to do it How to Make Dehydrated Tomatoes

By the way, I am planning purchasing dehydrator and that way I can make my own. Even if I have to get tomatoes from the supermarket, because I don’t have garden. I’ve been thinking about that for a while, because I would like to experiment with some raw recipes also. Looks like I have to look for another item on Amazon, so stay tuned!

Yeah, so many plans and ideas, but very little time. The best part is that my interests take my mind away from the unpleasant COVID 19 reality. I try to be positive and I hope you are too. Thank you for visiting and I love to hear you suggestions and questions. Wish you all the best and stay safe!
