How to Prepare Smoky BBQ Mango Jackfruit Sliders [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients an whisk together. Once bubbling, stir in the water, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes (the longer the better), stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat and cool before transferring to a glass jar. Store in the refrigerator.
Drain the jackfruit and add to a saucepan with 3 cups of water, bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 5 minutes.
Drain, shred with a fork and throw in a pan with bbq sauce for 5-7 minutes on medium to high heat. The jackfruit should take on a slightly darker color.
To make the slaw, throw the cabbages in a bowl with lime juice, salt, and pepper.
To assemble the sandwiches top with the jackfruit, jalapeño slaw, and a bun.
