I'm not vegan, and I find most meat-substitute recipes to be offensively bad. I prefer to eat vegan food that is good on its own merits, but this is a rare exception. Vegan Pulled "Pork" BBQ Jackfruit http://www.moreveganblog.com/2014/06/28/bbq-pulled-jackfruit/ I made this again with some friends last night, and it was a hit. Used Stubb's BBQ sauce which was pretty solid. From the last time I made it: Instead of simmering the jackfruit in broth, I removed this step altogether. I want crispy caramelized "meat" and boiling is going the wrong direction. I used a salad spinner, then spread the jackfruit on a few layers of paper towel and patted it down to remove as much moisture as possible before tossing with the spices. Next time I will add tomato paste and MSG to this spice mix to up the umami quotient. I also toyed with the idea of adding melted butter or shortening to introduce some fat & richness that is otherwise missing. Use a good amount of oil/butter during pan frying. Don't burn anything. Use just enough sauce to bind the fruit and then make sure it roasts until caramelized. I found it to be most convincing when served with pickles and slaw. A buttered, toasted bun also goes a long way. The key is to add as many other elements as possible to distract from the lack of pork (just being honest). We did half of it with a Mustard BBQ sauce that was a hit, but I preferred the spicy Sweet Baby Rays version. Next time I'm going to make Jackfruit "char siu" bao, which might be a pretty decent adaptation. ZetsurinPower fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Jul 8, 2015 |
