Vegetarian Pulled Pork November 27th, 2009
Earlier this summer my wife bought a box of vegetarian “pulled pork” in BBQ sauce from Whole Foods and I was kinda in love with the idea. The sauce was terrible and the texture was too mushy. I’m a fan of seitan but it’s time consuming. So after much searching on the internet I found a recipes using jackfruit. Guess what, I don’t keep jackfruit in the pantry. So I used the next closest thing I could think of in hearts of palm. I was pretty much against leaving the house so everything had to be available in my pantry for this. Also I’ve never eaten a pulled pork sandwich so really I’m not trying to get it to be exactly like it, just an inspiration.
Just shred the canned hearts of palm and toss them in a skillet. I used a bit of liquid smoke, soy sauce, garlic, and bourbon to add a bit of flavor. Keep ‘em on medium heat for 10 mins and toss in the bbq sauce and cook for another 5. I use my homemade Bourbon BBQ Sauce. Quick and easy.
Then I needed some slaw for the top. I’m not a fan of mayo and all I had was shredded carrots in the fridge. I used about 5oz of carrots, some chopped purple onion, 1/4 cup of pureed broccoli (leftover from a breakfast frutita) 1/4 cup of Michigan apple cider, pinch of garlic, some real maple syrup and salt and pepper to taste. Saute that in a pan for 10 mins letting the juice cook off and you got a nice hot slaw to top on your sandwich.
