BBQ Jackfruit Pulled Sandwiches

Method

1. Rinse the jackfruit well, then cut away the hard triangular core from each piece and squeeze out excess liquid. Pull the pieces apart with your fingers or two forks.
2. Whisk all the BBQ sauce ingredients together in a jug.
3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook the onion for 6–7 minutes until soft and golden.
4. Add the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and onion powder and cook for 1 minute.
5. Add the jackfruit and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, so it takes on some colour.
6. Pour in the BBQ sauce, cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Shred any remaining chunks with two forks as it softens.
7. Uncover and cook for a final 3–5 minutes until the sauce is sticky and clings to the jackfruit.
8. Meanwhile, toss the cabbage and carrot with the vegan mayo and vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
9. Toast the buns, then pile in the jackfruit, top with slaw and pickles and serve.
