Equipment

6-Quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients

1 medium red onion diced
(3) 14 oz cans young green jackfruit rinsed and drained
14 oz can pineapple chunks drained
18 oz jar barbecue sauce
1 tbsp arrowroot powder
10 small burger buns
14 oz can pineapple slices (optional)

Instructions

Put the diced onions, rinsed and drained jackfruit, pineapple chunks, and BBQ sauce into a large 6-quart slow cooker.
Stir it all together, cover it, and set it to cook on high for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, remove the lid, and use two forks to shred the softened jackfruit chunks. You could also use a potato masher or wooden spoon to lightly break up the jackfruit chunks.
Strain a little bit of the juice from the slow cooker and put it into a small bowl. Whisk together the arrowroot powder with the liquid to make a slurry and then pour it back into the pot. Stir to combine and let it continue to cook for 10-15 more minutes or until the mixture has thickened to your preference.
Serve on soft mini burger buns with a spoonful of sesame ginger coleslaw and a pineapple slice.

Notes

Only use young green jackfruit as a meat replacement. Ripe jackfruit is sweet and won't work for these burgers.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days or you can freeze it for a future meal.
