Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Burgers

Jackfruit is a fantastic meat alternative in vegan cooking. It pulls apart just like shredded meat and it has a subtle sweetness, which goes perfectly with our choice of spices.

   Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan, add all the jackfruit, along with the cumin, paprika and chilli powder, and fry for 2 minutes.

   Next add the BBQ sauce and water, then cook on a low-medium heat for 20 minutes, adding an extra splash of water if necessary. When the jackfruit becomes tender, use a wooden mixing spoon to break it down into pulled jackfruit.
