00:00Toddlers don't weigh this much. It is very heavy.

00:02Today we're making barbecue sandwiches, but with a twist.

00:05Jackfruit.

00:05They grow all over Southeast Asia.

00:08And you can get them in your local Asian market.

00:10Alright, that was a lot of fun, but we're not about to ask you to have to butcher a whole jackfruit in your house.

00:14So the grocery store sells jackfruit already broken down in a can,

00:18and you want to buy it in brine or water for this application, because we're doing a savory dish.

00:23It kind of tastes like artichoke hearts to me.

00:26So now we have to shred the jackfruit.

00:28There's the stringy part on the outside that easily comes apart.

00:32The seed parts or any of the solid core, we're gonna chop those up until they're the same consistency.

00:38We're gonna season with salt, pepper, and oil.

00:41We are going to finish it with some barbecue flavors,

00:45but because this is gonna be here for about 25 minutes, it would burn if you added it too early.

00:49Recipe says to drizzle the barbecue sauce on each sandwich, but I kind of want to pour some in.

00:53Do you think that's okay?

00:54Yeah.

00:55You know, I like to break the rules, so.

00:56It's to taste anyways.

00:57Well, I mean, it looks like barbecue.

00:59There's our one sandwich, but now you need a sandwich.

01:01I also want to make one for someone else.

01:03So our special guest today is one of our favorite people on staff, Nella McGaw.

01:07And you've tried jackfruit before, right?

01:08Yes.

01:10It never got to this beautiful stage.

01:14Is this what it's supposed to taste like?

01:16It's tangy because of the barbecue sauce, good texture.

01:19The spices really kind of get it there.

01:21Okay, I'm gonna have to get the recipe from y'all.

01:23Okay, we got it.
