Pulled Jackfruit made with Homemade BBQ Sauce on a bagel is a must try delight. Whether for dinner or lunch for work, the whole family will love it.
This is not the first time I made jackfruit, but this time I got it perfect! Not that it didn’t taste good before. For example, JACKFRUIT FAJITAS were really delicious! However, I was struggling a little with the process, especially while trying to get the texture right. Well, it turned out that what works for me the best is the Pastry Cutter.
You may wonder what the heck I am talking about, but honestly, it does the magic. I use it even for scrambled tofu. Although, I don’t think I ever used it for pastry, lol. Anyway, I highly recommend you try while making this Pulled Jackfruit and you will understand what I mean.
By the way, have you made jackfruit before? If yes, let me know what is your secret and also what side dish you like it with. I personally absolutely love oven-baked sweet potato fries. They go super well with the BBQ flavor. Also, I made it on bagels instead of buns because they didn’t have multigrain buns in our supermarket. I liked it a lot, but you can use whatever pleases you.
Oh, and I didn’t make mayo from scratch, I am just using Vegenaise, which I love. However, any other vegan mayo is fine, or you can make one from Aquafaba if you like. I actually have to try it myself. Usually, I use cashews for dressings and mayo, but this is a great idea! What do you think? Anyway, thank you for vising and have a wonderful week.
