Pulled Jackfruit

Two 20 oz Cans of Young Green Jackfruit in Brine or Water (Not in Syrup)

Drain and rinse jackfruits.

Cut the jackfruits into smaller pieces by cutting it from for to the edge for the most pulled texture

1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Cup Onion, Sliced into Lengthwise Pieces
1 Tbsp Garlic, Chopped

Heat olive oil in a pan, add onion, saute for 5 minutes, add garlic, saute for 1 more minute.

1/4 Cup Water

Add chopped jackfruit, water, cover and cook for 10 more minutes. Mash the jackfruit with potato masher, until it breaks apart and it looks pulled or shredded.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Lightly grease a baking pan or add parchment paper to the pan.

Spread jackfruit in an even layer across the baking pan, pop it in the oven for 15 minutes.

1/2 Cup BBQ Sauce

Remove from the oven and pour over 1/2 cup of bbq sauce and stir to combine.

Toss it back in the oven for 10 more minutes, until it looks delicious and golden and even few strands get a bit burnt.

1/2 Cup BBQ Sauce

Remove from the oven, stir in remaining 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce to make it even saucier.

Note: I prepared and stored them in the fridge. I took 1/2 of it (about 2 cups), added 1/2 cup more bbq sauce and heated it.
