Jackfruit “BBQ” Sandwiches by Noel Ugarte, MS, RD | Registered Dietician
Did you know cholesterol is only found in foods that come from animals? Switching to a plant-based protein one night a week is a great way to lower total cholesterol intake.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add peppers and onions. Sautee until peppers become tender and onions begin to sweat, about 5 minutes.
Add drained jackfruit into skillet and cook for 5 minutes, until soft. Gently mash the fruit until it begins to separate and shred. If you’d like, you can remove any seeds that may be left in the fruit. If the jackfruit begins to stick, add 1-2 Tbsp water or low sodium chicken broth to the pan.
Add seasonings and stir to combine. Add low sodium barbeque sauce and stir again. Remove from heat.
Serve on wheat buns and top with raw cabbage slaw mix.
