Vegan BBQ pulled pork
Hey!
I wanted to share a new Vegan recipe with you today!
I am finally back writing for my personal blog and feels so good, you see, the thing is, I write a blog for my company about tech and other exciting things, however, this means that when I get home the last thing I want to do is sit down and write another blog post, even if it's about something I really enjoy, like food, fitness or even lifestyle topics!
But, I am going to try my hardest to keep blogging for you guys! and for myself in all honesty.
Anyway, back to the important part, food...
When I used to travel to Bournemouth, which at one point was every other week, I discovered an amazing Vegan resturant called Amala and it was here that I first tried BBQ pulled jackfruit and it was so tasty, I knew at some point I would have to try it at home.
The other day, I was in saisbury's and I saw a can of Jackfruit on the shelf and I decided to buy it and try to recreate the BBQ pulled pork masterpiece I had previously eaten. Good luck, right? Well, actually... it turned out pretty well!
See below for the cooking instructions, the measurements are a bit experiemental because that's how I cook, but just try it out and see what works for you.

Ingredients:
- Tinned Jackfruit [I used half a tin you can use more if its for more than one]
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 yellow pepper
- 4 tomatoes
- Tomato puree
- Spinach
- Oil [I used garlic frylight]
- Cumin
- Mustard powder
- Smoked paprika
- BBQ sauce [I used blend bros sugar free version]
- Vegetable stock
- Salt & Pepper
- I didn't have any but I would recommend fresh garlic as well
Method:
- Firstly I sprayed my garlic frylight into the pan and put the heat on medium
- I diced my onion and added it to the pan
- Once they were soft I added the cumin, paprika and mustard powder
- Then, I added about a cup of water and a vegetable stock cube
- Wait for it to simmer [about 5 minutes]
- I then added my fresh chopped tomatoes and sliced yellow peppers
- Simmered them for a few minutes
- Add the jackfruit
- Add the tomato puree
- Stir
- At the end I added the BBQ sauce and spinach
- Salt & pepper for seasoning
- And then simmer until thick
Tah dah.
I had mine with red quinoa but you can have it with rice, tortilla wraps, tacos...anything you want!
And for the calorie concious, a whole tin of Jackfruit is only 54 calories!
I would highly recommend making this recipe, especially if you're new to veganism, the texture of the jackfruit really does remind you of meat.
Lovely, tasty and healthy, just what I like.
Please let me know if you did recreate it, and if so, how it tasted.
I hope you're having a lovely day!
Namaste.
