Ingredients
slider filling
- 1 14-ounce can of jackfruit, drained, rinsed
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1 red onion, peeled and diced
- 1 bell pepper, cored and diced
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded, and minced
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 cup no-salt tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 jalapeno, sliced thin for garnish
- 2 sprigs parsley for garnish
- 4 slider buns
Instructions
Slider filling
- Heat the canola oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Saute the onions and peppers until translucent. Add the spices and cook another minute.
- Add the jackfruit and the liquid ingredients. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Cook covered for about 15 minutes or until thick. It also works well to bake it covered in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 if you don't want to watch it on the stove.
- Spoon the filling over four split slider buns.
- Garnish with slices of jalapeno and sprigs of parsley.
