BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sandwich

• Drain, rinse, and thoroughly dry jackfruit. Cut out and remove the “core” portion of the fruit and discard. Using two forks or your hands, shred the jackfruit into bite-size pieces.  Place in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• In another medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients for the BBQ sauce. 
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1-2 Tbsp. of a neutral oil of choice followed by the jackfruit. Sear briefly and then add half of the barbecue sauce, stirring to coat the jackfruit with the sauce. Add in ½ cup of water, cover, and lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes, adding water if needed, but water should be mostly evaporated by the end of simmering. Stir in the remaining half of the barbecue sauce. 
• In the meantime, make the slaw. Add all ingredients except the cabbage and carrots to a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add in the cabbage, carrots, and parsley, and toss well to combine. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving. 
• To serve, place generous portions of slaw on the bottom buns and top with another generous serving of the BBQ jackfruit and quick-pickled Yowzers™ red chili peppers, to taste. 

Quick-Pickled Yowzers™ red chili peppers

• 1 cup apple cider vinegar (or white distilled vinegar)
