Ingredients

  • 2 cans of jackfruit (available at Countdown)
  • Smoked Paprika
  • Cayenne powder
  • Olive oil
  • BBQ sauce
  • Gherkin
  • Vegannaise (optional)
  • Salsa flavoured cornchips
  • Ciabatta bread rolls

Method

  1. Pre-heat a pan to medium heat with some olive oil and salt.
     
  2. Open the cans of jackfruit, put in bowl and add smoked paprika
     
  3. Put the jackfruit into the pan and cook for 5 minutes, occasionally stirring until the jackfruit easily pulls apart, giving the same texture as pulled pork.
     
  4. Add 6 table spoons of water and 6 tablespoons of your favourite BBQ sauce and add cayenne pepper to taste. (if looking a little dry add more bbq sauce)
     
  5. Simmer on a slightly lower heat, while you warm the bread rolls.
     
  6. Spoon the jackfruit into the burger, add gherkin, vegan mayonnaise and cornchips for extra texture.
     
  7. Enjoy!
