Jackfruit Pulled “Pork” Sliders
Jackfruit has a strange superpower: given heat, a coat of BBQ sauce, and two seconds on Variable 1 in the Vitamix, the fibrous young fruit shreds into strands that hold up on a slider bun the way pulled pork does. Canned green jackfruit in brine is the base — bake it once to dry it out, shred it in the blender, toss it with BBQ sauce, and bake it again until the edges caramelize and crisp. The cashew-almond queso on top takes six minutes in the Vitamix and is worth making in a big batch to keep around. Bring these to a party or make them for a weeknight — they reheat well and disappear fast either way. The ingredient list looks long because of the optional toppings. The actual work is not that much.
