How to Make I Fooled The Carnivores Vegan Barbecue

  1. Sauté the chopped onion in a large pan over medium heat until clear and soft (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add the drained and rinsed jackfruit to the pan. Break it apart with a spoon or spatula, ensuring the onion, garlic, and ginger mixture is evenly distributed.
  4. Stir in the ketchup, maple syrup, Tabasco sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more ketchup for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or hot sauce for heat.
  6. Once heated through and bubbly, serve the jackfruit BBQ immediately on slider buns or hamburger buns. Enjoy!
