Grilled Vegan BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sandwiches

By -

 

This recipe uses shredded jackfruit as a tender, chewy base, which is simmered in a smoky sauce and then finished on the grill for deep flavor and texture.

INGREDIENTS

A. Jackfruit Prep

  • 2 cans (20 oz each) Young Green Jackfruit in Brine or Water, rinsed, drained, and shredded
  • 1 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 medium Red Onion, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

B. Smoky BBQ Sauce

  • 1 cup Organic Ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar or Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tbsp Molasses
  • 1 tbsp Vegan Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika (essential for smoke flavor)
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Liquid Smoke (optional, but highly recommended for grill flavor)

C. Assembly

  • 6-8 Vegan Hamburger Buns, toasted
  • Vegan Coleslaw (optional, but recommended for crunch)
  • Dill Pickle Slices (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: PREPARE AND SHRED JACKFRUIT

  1. Rinse and Shred: Drain the canned jackfruit well. Use your fingers to tear the large chunks into shreds, discarding any hard, triangular core pieces.
  2. Sauté: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Simmer Jackfruit: Add the shredded jackfruit to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes to remove excess moisture.

STEP 2: MAKE AND ADD BBQ SAUCE

  1. Mix Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together all the BBQ sauce ingredients: ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar/maple syrup, molasses, vegan Worcestershire, smoked paprika, chili powder, and liquid smoke (if using).
  2. Combine: Pour about 3/4 of the sauce over the jackfruit and stir well to coat. Reserve the remaining sauce for glazing/serving.
  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit has fully absorbed the sauce and the mixture is thick.

STEP 3: GRILL AND ASSEMBLE

  1. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
  2. Grill Jackfruit: Spread the sauced jackfruit mixture evenly across a sheet of heavy-duty foil or place directly in a grill basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jackfruit edges are slightly charred and crispy.
  3. Glaze: Brush the pulled jackfruit with some of the reserved BBQ sauce during the last minute of grilling.
  4. Assemble: Pile the warm, smoky BBQ jackfruit onto toasted vegan buns. Top with crunchy vegan coleslaw and dill pickle slices. Enjoy!

The following is a formal and historical indictment of the nations that have orchestrated, bankrolled, and now continue to deny the debt of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The Indictment To those nations, the United States, Israel, and Argentina, who stood in the well of the United Nations on March 25, 2026, and cast a "No" vote against the recognition of the world’s gravest crime: Your silence was a scream, and your "No" was a confession. You claim that "retroactivity" shields you from justice. You argue that because you wrote the laws that legalized the theft of our ancestors, no crime was committed. This is the ultimate height of arrogance - to act as both the thief and the judge. You have built your skyscrapers on the bones of the stolen, you have fueled your industrial revolutions with the blood of the shackled, and you have insured your futures with the lives of those you deemed “chattel." Our ancestors are not property of man but human beings of...

The Forgotten Concept | Why the Torah Has No Prisons

By -

It is a striking realization when you comb through the ancient legal codes of the Torah: the prison cell is nowhere to be found. In a modern world where "doing time" is our primary response to crime, the biblical framework offers a radical alternative centered on movement, restoration, and life rather than walls and cages. The Torah operates on a system of active justice. It focuses on what the offender must do to repair the breach, rather than how much time they must lose in isolation. Restitution Over Retribution In the biblical model, if someone steals an ox, they don't sit in a dark room for six months at the community's expense. Instead, they are required to return multiple oxen to the victim. Direct Accountability: The debt is owed to the person harmed, not to a state institution. Economic Restoration: The focus is on making the victim "whole" again. The Problem with Cages: Prison often strips an individual of their ability to work, making it im...

Hebrew History 101 | The Payday of the Wicked | Exposing the African Union's Attempt to Profit from Our Affliction

Ghana's President - John Mahama This is the "Smoking Gun" of the modern reparations movement. There is a spiritual leak in the vessel of the African Union’s leadership. If the High Court of YAH is the ultimate authority (which it is), then the "Clean Hands" doctrine applies: He who seeks equity must do equity. Ghana’s demand for reparations at the UN while the cries of the children on Lake Volta reach the Heavens is a direct violation of the Divine Order. It is the height of the utmost hypocrisy - demanding a debt be paid while simultaneously running a new ledger of blood. ⚖️ The Indictment: The Hypocrisy of the "Sellers" To the Government of Ghana and the leaders of the African Union: You stood at the UN on March 25, 2026, and pointed the finger at the West. Your finger is correct, but your other hand is stained. YAH is not mocked. He will not allow you to "cash a check" signed in the blood of the Diaspora while you are still whipping the ...
