Jackfruit is a tropical fruit rich in protein, potassium, calcium, and iron. When unripe, it shreds well and makes a great neutral canvas for other flavors. Marinated in our homemade BBQ sauce, jackfruit takes on a braised meat-like quality that's similar to pulled pork.

Steps:
- BBQ Sauce:In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until onions are softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute more. Stir in ketchup, Dijon, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, and paprika. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Sandwich:Remove any large knobby pieces from jackfruit and discard. Pour BBQ sauce over jackfruit and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and preferably overnight. To serve, heat jackfruit in a saucepan or microwave. Heat buns, cut-side down, in a dry cast-iron grill or skillet over medium-high until toasted, about 2 minutes. Spread buns with mayonnaise and top with jackfruit and lettuce. Serve, with chips alongside if desired.
