Mix the ingredients for the BBQ sauce and briefly heat them in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
Mix together the ingredients for the spice mixture. Put the jackfruit in a colander, rinse and drain. Finely dice the onion.
Mix 150 ml BBQ sauce with 50 ml water and set aside.
Mix the BBQ spice mixture with the jackfruit pieces.
Heat some oil in a large pan and sweat the onions until translucent. Add the fruits and fry for 3 minutes until the sugar is caramelized. Add the BBQ water mix and let the jackfruit simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat with the lid closed. After 30 minutes, chop the jackfruit pieces with the potato masher until they look fibrous (pulled jackfruit).
In the meantime, place the rolls in the oven on the baking sheet and set the temperature to 180 degrees. When the rolls are brown and crispy, take them out of the oven. Place the pulled jackfruit on the tray and grill for another 10-15 minutes (if available) or bake.
Divide the buns and hollow out the top lid so that the pulled jackfruit doesn`t slide out sideways when you bite into it. Brush the lower half with mayonnaise and put a lettuce leaf on top. Alternatively, top with coleslaw or avocado. Spread the pulled jackfruit on the burgers and put the top lid on.
Sweet potato fries, potato wedges or coleslaw go well with it.

Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
