Spicy Sesame Pulled Jackfruit Mango Sliders
Eating the RAINBOW all summer and these sliders are absolutely no exception! This recipe is an explosion of flavor and actually so easy and quick to make! I buy the jackfruit in a can and then cook it down in coconut aminos based sauce for about 15-20 minutes. You can absolutely cook this in a slow cooker or pressure cooker, just add 1/2 cup more veggie broth if you do!
This recipe is great for meal prep as we made this for just 2 of us and it lasted us for 3 meals! I paired this with The Activated Charcoal Spelt Slider Buns and holy moly was it a good match. While your buns are rising, just cook the jackfruit and while the jackfruit + buns are cooking, make your mango slaw. The perfect summertime meal full of flavor, nutrients and all those good vibes.
Makes 12 sliders:
The Goods:
For the pulled jackfruit:
1 tbsp sesame oil
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3 green onions, chopped
1 shallot, peeled and chopped
1- 2 serrano pepper, seeded and chopped
2 can jackfruit, drained + chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
For the jackfruit marinade:
1/4 cup coconut aminos
1/4 cup veggie broth
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
For the mango slaw:
2 cups purple cabbage, thinly sliced
1 carrot, grated
3 green onions, chopped
2 radishes, sliced
1/2 mango, peeled and chopped
1 tbsp vegan mayo 0r cashew cream
1 lime, juiced
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp agave
1 tbsp liquid aminos
For the sliders:
avocado slices
cilantro leaves
tomato slices
The Method:
In a deep saucepan, over medium high heat, add the sesame oil, garlic, shallot, green onion, and Serrano pepper. Toss a pinch of salt on top and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the jackfruit and cook for about 4-5 minutes. While your jackfruit is cooking, add everything for the sauce in a mason jar and mix well with a spoon.
Pour the marinade over the jackfruit, mix well and cover. Cook, covered, for about 10-15 minutes while stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
While the jackfruit is cooking, grab a bowl and toss everything for the slaw inside. Mix well and taste test for saltiness and sweetness. Set aside.
Assemble your sliders with the buns, jackfruit, avocado, tomato, cilantro and mango slaw! I like to mash the avocado and put on the bottom, but it’s up to you!
Enjoy immediately as sliders or store the different components separately to save for later!
