Trick your non-vegan friends into eating vegan during your next cookout! Jackfruit is the best vegan substitute for pulled pork and is so much faster and easier to make than real pork (and no animals will be harmed either!) Since Jackfruit is a fruit and can be eaten raw, it doesn’t need to be cooked that long, making this a very quick and easy vegan recipe. The key to these BBQ Jackfruit and Coleslaw Sandwiches by Sarah Ottino is using good BBQ sauce since that’s where most of the flavor comes from. Don’t skimp on this ingredient!
