Not so Pulled Pork BBQ

Description:

Pulled pork is a fan favorite in our household. One of my sons always asked me, "When are we having pulled pork for dinner"? And let me tell you, those pork sandwiches were perfected over generations of cooking. Even my dad, who is the biggest lover of Italian meats, used to rave about it. Now, it's a bit tough to eat pork when you're trying to do WFPB eating, but I think we've created something that many people will love. With the use of hearts of palm and jackfruit, we've made what we believe is a wonderful pulled pork WFPB recipe. The best part? You can season it with whichever flavor you're feeling! We used BBQ seasoning in this recipe, but you could try various flavors to see what works best for you. So go ahead and give it a try!

  • Ingredients

    • 2 (20 oz.) cans of Jackfruit, drained and rinsed
    • 1 (25 oz.) jar (or a can or two if you do not shop at Costco or BJ’s) of hearts of palm, drained and rinsed
    • 3 cloves of garlic or more, diced
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • 1 tsp black pepper
    • 2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 Tbsp paprika
    • ½ tsp cayenne (or less for less spicy)
    • 2 Tbsp Rib Rack sugar-free BBQ rub (or rub of your choice)
    • 1 Tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
    • ½ cup BBQ sauce of your choice
    • ¼ cup water

    Instructions

    1. In a medium saucepan, sauté chopped onion with a small amount of water; when soft, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds longer (add more water if/as needed).
    2. Pull, drained, and rinsed jackfruit and hearts of palm to resemble shredded pork.
    3. Once onion and garlic are soft, add to a crockpot with your pulled “pork” and all other remaining ingredients.
    4. Incorporate well, cook for 2 to 3 hours on low.
    5. Enjoy!
