Pulled Porcini Sliders – a clever combination of jackfruit and porcini in a sweetly savory sauce – a perfect plant based spin on classic tangy pulled pork.

Pulled Porcini Sliders

*tee hee* I love word puns.

I also love jack fruit, it makes the perfect Plant Based Pulled ‘Pork’. Adding a hearty sliced mushroom to the mix really amped up the oomph factor here. Sweet, savory, tangy, spicy – in a mini size slider.

Important Note: the peperoncini is an essential pairing here, please do it. It brings a tangy heat to the spicy sweet, and layering them first on the bottom bun? Not an accident – the peperoncini juice is soaked into the bottom bun (just a bit, no soggy here) and is simply glorious.

Another good pairing? Pickles. Delicious dills – fat slices of delicious dill pickle. Oh, which also pairs well with this:

Yep, yep, I sure did.

I may have a plant based diet, but I do know what goes on in a really good barbecue joint. Pretty sure there is mac and cheese involved.

and pickles.

Now I cannot choose which I want you to make first! One has that sweet, savory, tangy, spicy thing I was telling you about, and the other has an uber rich comfort food thing going on.

Here’s the plan – make a double batch of the pulled porcini, have it with the tangy peperoncini and colorful purple cabbage.

The next day? Make your favorite mac and cheese and do this thing all over again.
