Jackfruit Pulled Pork Recipe for Vegetarian BBQ

04/07/202405/12/2018 by Chef Buck

Here is the easiest jackfruit pulled pork recipe ever. A faux pork vegetarian recipe made with canned young, green jackfruit will deliver the taste and texture of your favorite BBQ pork, and it’s a much healthier choice. This recipe is basically a BBQ sauce delivery system. Unripe canned jackfruit makes a perfect meat substitute that works well for either pork or chicken, so definitely give it a try.

Ingredients for Jackfruit Pulled Pork BBQ

1 20oz can young, green JACKFRUIT
1 medium ONION
2-4 cloves GARLIC
your favorite BBQ SAUCE
1 tsp CUMIN POWDER
½ tsp CHILI POWDER
some SALT and PEPPER
OIL for sautéing

How to Make Vegetarian Pulled Pork BBQ with Jackfruit

Rinse and drain the young, green jackfruit. Make sure to buy unripe jackfruit and NOT the
yellow ripe jackfuit. You can buy jackfruit online. Check CURRENT CANNED JACKFRUIT PRICES on Amazon.
Shred the jackfruit. I do this by hand, it’s very easy, but you can use a knife, too.
Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat.
Add thinly sliced onion and finely chopped garlic and saute 3-4 minutes.
Add in seasoning.
Add jackfruit and a little BBQ sauce.
Raise the temperature and heat the jackfruit through, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the dish reduces as the water cooks out of the onion and jackfruit.
Add more BBQ sauce to desired sauciness, and then remove from heat.

This jackfruit pulled pork substitute is great all on its own, served over rice, or perfect on a soft roll or bun, so definitely give it a try. If you like pulled pork BBQ, you will be amazed at this vegetarian option and how easy it is to prepare.

What is Jackfruit?

Jackfruit is exactly what it sounds like, a fruit, but it’s HUGE. A 50 pound jackfruit is not uncommon. This giant tropical fruit grows on trees and is very popular in Asia. Unripe jackfruit can be cooked and used in savory dishes. Ripened jackfruit can be eaten raw and, unlike young green jackfruit, is very juicy and sweet.

Buying and cleaning fresh jackfruit is quite an endevour, so canned jackfruit is a perfect alternative. I prefer the green jackfruit and find it to be a terrific ingredient to experiment with in a variety of vegetarian recipes. The mildness of its flavor allows young jackfruit to be incredibly versatile, and it will enhance a recipe without overpowering it.

I’ve used green jackfruit as a pulled pork BBQ, as a faux meat filling in tacos, in an Indian-style variation of Jackfruit Tikka Masala, and as a No-Potato Hash for breakfast.
Its super nutritious, readily available at Asian markets, and well worth giving a try, so seek it out.

Hash Browns Recipe w/ Rutabaga and Zero Potato

03/05/202003/03/2018 by Chef Buck

Try a no potato hash browns recipe with rutabaga. Rutabaga is a root vegetable you can use just like a potato, but it’s a healthier choice with less than half the calories and carbs of potato. Rutabaga is like a larger version of a turnip, but a bit sweeter. It’s related to cabbage, and has a very mild cabbage taste. Rutabaga is great in soups, and I love it simply seasoned and roasted in the oven. Rutabagas look sorta like turnips, but they’re usually bigger. Like most produce, when buying rutabaga choose one that’s firm and seems heavy for it’s size. Give rutabaga a try and let me know what you think.

What You Need for a Rutabaga Hash Browns Recipe

2 cups shredded RUTABAGA
2 chopped GREEN ONIONS (separate white bottoms from green tops)
some chopped HOT PEPPER
1 EGG
shredded CHEESE (optional)
SALT to taste, for flavor and drawing out the water
season to taste, I like:
SMOKED PAPRIKA, GARLIC POWDER,
CHIPOTLE, BLACK PEPPER, etc. …use flavors you like
OIL for sauteing

How to make Hash Browns Recipe with Rutabaga

Slice the end off the rutabaga and cut away the outer skin with a knife.
Shred about 2 cups of rutabaga using a hand grater or food processor.
Place rutabaga in a colander and lightly sprinkle with salt. Mix and let sit for a few minutes while you prepare the other ingredients, this will give the salt time to draw out the water.
Squeeze excess water from the rutabaga and place in a bowl.
Add green onion bottoms, peppers, egg, and seasoning. Mix well.
Heat a skillet and oil on medium heat.
Add in the rutabaga mix and cook until browned, turning occasionally.
When near completion, stir in green onion bottoms and cheese.

That’s it!
Give an easy Rutabaga Hash Browns Recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit!

Jicama Recipe for Easy Breakfast Hash

03/05/202001/17/2018 by Chef Buck

Try a tasty breakfast hash made from fresh jicama. Jicama makes an easy hash recipe because jicama is crunchy and can be eaten raw, just cook it long enough with the other ingredients to impart flavor and heat the jicama through. I like lots of onion and peppers in this jicama recipe, but experiment with other ingredients as well. A hash is a great dish for cleaning out the fridge. Jicama root is like the offspring of a potato and an apple; the root is white and crunchy and can be eaten raw, it has a very mild flavor, and is not too sweet, so it makes an ideal ingredient for many recipes. Give this jicama recipe a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients for this Jicama Recipe

1 JICAMA diced into cubes
chopped ONION
chopped BELL PEPPERS
chopped HOT PEPPER
finely chopped GARLIC? why not.
seasonings:
SALT for jicama
PAPRIKA
CHIPOTLE
GARLIC POWDER
BLACK PEPPER
but use whatever
seasonings you like
…sometimes I use dried
ITALIAN SEASONING
…give it a try

How to make a Breakfast Hash with Jicama

Buy jicama with an unblemished, unbroken skin, one that seems
heavy for its size since jicama is mostly water, just like you.
Wash and cut the skin of the jicama off with a knife.
Dice jicama into cubes and toss in a bowl with salt and set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet and add in the onion, peppers, and garlic.
Saute for 2-3 minutes and then add in seasonings to taste, but don’t be shy.
Continue sauteing another 2-3 minutes.
Dry salted jicama with a paper towel and add into the skillet.
Saute jicama with the other ingredients as desired.
Once the jicama is heated through, the dish is ready!

Give this easy jicama recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit!

Tofu Recipe for Beginners – Breakfast Scramble

03/05/202012/09/2017 by Chef Buck

Try a tofu recipe that makes a nice break from a typical breakfast egg scramble. This dish is a great introduction to tofu. I use firm tofu in this dish and lots of fresh greens. In this tofu scramble I’m using the leaves and stems of fresh kale, but we often use fresh spinach too, which will cook up quicker if you’re in a rush.

Ingredients for Tofu Recipe

6-8 oz Firm TOFU
2 cups chopped KALE
or substitute SPINACH
chopped GREEN ONIONS
chopped BELL PEPPER
finely chopped GARLIC
sliced CHERRY TOMATOES
and whatever seasonings
you like, like:
PAPRIKA, CURRY, dried HERBS,
CHILI POWDER, SALT, and PEPPER
OIL for cooking
….optional: SEEDS!…I use seeds in this video cause I had too much oil in my skillet and I wanted to take advantage of it. I added caraway seeds, but cumin or fennel seeds
would have added great flavor, too.

If you’re not used to using tofu in cooking, this tofu recipe is a good place to start. Tofu is a soy product and a meatless protein. It has almost no flavor, so tofu is very versatile. Tofu will take on whatever flavors you add, and it needs lots of flavor, so be generous. Bland tofu is terrible, but a well-seasoned tofu dish can be delicious. Give this version of a tofu scramble a try, or make your own with whatever fresh veggies you have on hand.

How to Make a Tofu Breakfast Scramble

Even firm tofu isn’t all that firm, so buy firm tofu.
Chop tofu into cubes or slices, but not too small.
Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Check here for current prices for a non-stick skillet on Amazon.
Season tofu well and saute about 5-10 minutes, turning as it cooks,until the tofu is browned on most sides.
In another skillet, heat oil on medium heat.
Add in chopped kale stems and cook 2-3 minutes.
Add onions, peppers, and garlic and continue sauteeing another 2-3 minutes.
Add seasoning and spices and mix ingredients well.
Add in the remaining ingredients–kale leaves, tomato, green onion tops–and continue cooking another 3-5 minutes.
Add in browned tofu. Mix well, and serve.

And that’s it. Experiment and use whatever ingredients you desire and have on hand. A breakfast scramble can be whatever you want, and tofu is a great way to add
protein to a meatless dish. And this tofu breakfast scramble makes a nice lunch and dinner, too!

04/07/202410/21/2017 by Chef Buck

Make a tasty breakfast potato hash with canned jackfruit. Young, green jackfruit is a great meat substitute that works well in this classic breakfast recipe of potato and peppers.

Ingredients for Canned Jackfruit Potato Hash

1 20oz can young, green JACKFRUIT
1 cup chopped POTATO (any kind you like, sweet potato makes a nice change-up)
½ cup chopped ONION

1 tsp CUMIN POWDER
1 tsp PAPRIKA

2 Tbsp WORCERSTERSHIRE
some SALT and PEPPER

How to Make Jackfruit Potato Hash

Rinse and drain canned jackfruit. You can buy jackfruit online. Check current canned jackfruit prices on Amazon.
Shred it. I do this by hand, it’s very easy, but you can use a knife, too.
Heat oil in a skillet on medium high heat.
Add chopped onion and peppers and saute 3-4 minutes.
Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
Add seasoning and mix well, continue sauteing for another minute.
Add in shredded jackfruit and Worcestershire sauce and mix well.

What is Jackfruit?

Jackfruit is exactly what it sounds like, a fruit, but it’s HUGE. A 50 pound jackfruit is not uncommon. This giant tropical fruit grows on
trees and is very popular in Asia. Unripe, jackfruit can be treated like a starch, cooked and used in savory dishes. Ripened jackfruit can be eaten raw and is very
juicy and sweet; quite a combo. Buying and cleaning a fresh jackfruit is quite an endevour. For me, canned jackfruit is a perfect ingredient.

I prefer unripe, young, green jackfruit and find it to be a terrific ingredient to experiment with in a variety of recipes. The texture of unripe jackfruit makes it a fantastic faux meat,
and the mildness of its flavor allows it to be incredibly versatile.

I’ve used it as a meatless pulled pork BBQ, as a faux meat filling in tacos, in an Indian-style variation of Jackfruit Tikka Masala, and as a potato hash for breakfast.
Its super nutritious, readily available at Asian markets, and well worth giving a try.
