Look for canned water-packed jackfruit in Asian markets or well-stocked supermarkets (be sure not to get the kind packed in syrup) when making these vegan BBQ Jack Sandwiches. If jackfruit is unavailable, substitute your choice of chopped seitan, steamed crumbled tempeh, chopped mushrooms, or reconstituted TVP or Soy Curls.

Yields 4 Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (16-ounce) can water-packed jackfruit, drained and shredded or thinly sliced
- 1 (4-ounce) can chopped mild or hot green chiles, drained
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon tamari

Instructions
-
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the jackfruit and chiles and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce, tamari, mustard, paprika, liquid smoke, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, to heat through and blend the flavors, about 8 minutes. Mix well, adding a little water if the mixture is too dry. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. When ready to serve, spoon the mixture onto the rolls and serve hot.
