Cook Something New

Each week, we give you an ingredient, technique, cuisine, or inspiration. Each week, you cook a dish in that theme and share the results. Each week, your culinary repertoire gets a little bigger.

Rules:

  1. If you can justify your interpretation of a theme, your dish fits the theme.
  2. Don't be rude. Sometimes a dish comes out less than we expected, or you may not agree with someone's interpretation. Keep negativity to yourself.
  3. Posts must list the Week and Theme as well as the name of the dish
  4. Photo posts required

Sauce is sweet baby rays, spiced up with some aji amarillo left over from Peruvian Week, and thinned with some pickle juice.

Damn that looks good. I went vegetarian about 4 years ago and, while I have no regrets, I do miss pulled pork...like, a lot. I'm totally gonna enjoy those sandwiches vicariously through you lol.

I wondered that last week when I made some BBQ chicken sliders kind of like these, if anything on the vegan side has come around to being similar.

Look into jackfruit "pulled pork"! I've tried one and it's pretty good. A bit sweet but good.

TIL jackfruit was a thing that existed lol. Will see if I can get any in my area. Might go well with a sweet BBQ sauce?

I would say it depends on your like of sweetness. The jackfruit lends a little sweetness on its own. Personally I'd probably try something a little more tangy, spiced, or something like a Carolina gold style.

Thank you! They're doing great things with seitan now, assuming you're gluten friendly.

Btw, love the username.

Thanks and thanks! Will check that out.
