Pub Style Jackfruit Confit Burger

Veganism is on the rise, friends!

There has been an explosion of new vegan products on the shelves as more and more people give up eating animal products and I couldn’t be happier about it!

My absolute favorite vegan meat replacement I’ve tried this year is the jackfruit confit by Nature’s Charm. I shared an uber-creamy vegan Carbonara a few months back using the jackfruit confit and I am back with an even easier, more delicious recipe for you all today!

I really wanted to showcase just how easy and crave-worthy the jackfruit confit is without any additional seasoning or much effort at all, so I created a recipe for a Pub Style Jackfruit Confit Burger, inspired by a famous duck confit burger served at a pub in the UK.

This Pub Style Jackfruit Confit Burger only takes 15 minutes to make, including the caramelized onions! Thanks to a secret ingredient (spoiler alert: it’s baking soda!) the onions release their sugars and brown in just ten minutes, as opposed to the thirty minutes they usually take to caramelize.

The jackfruit confit comes basically ready to eat! Literally all you have to do it fry it in a pan until crispy and melt vegan cheese on it. It’s sooooooooo good. The sweetness of the caramelized onions really compliments the flavors of the jackfruit confit and if you can find vegan pretzel buns, you may just make this for dinner every night!

Good thing the jackfruit confit comes in packs of 6. I recommend getting two! They make such an easy, delicious dinner- Here’s a link for you to try them yourself!

Juicy Pub Style Jackfruit Confit Burger with quick-caramelized onions, melted vegan cheese, arugula, and spicy mustard on a pretzel bun. Ready in just 15 minutes!

Author: Carrots and Flowers

Recipe type: Main Course

Cuisine: Vegan, Pub Food, Gluten-free

Serves: 2 sandwiches or 4 sliders

Ingredients

• 2 vegan buns or 4 slider buns (pretzel if you have them)
• 2 cans Nature's Charm jackfruit confit
• ½ cup vegan mozzarella shreds
• handful arugula
• spicy mustard
• 
  
• Quick-Caramelized Onions
• 1 red onion
• 2 tsp oil or vegan butter
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• less than ⅛ tsp baking soda

Instructions

1. Heat a pan over medium heat. Slice the onion in half, then cut it into very thin strips.
2. Melt the vegan butter in the pan then add the onions Sprinkle them with the teensiest pinch of baking soda, no more than ⅛ tsp or the onions will turn mushy. This releases the sugars faster so they caramelize more quickly.
3. Let the onions cook undisturbed for 2 minutes then add the sugar and stir. Cook the onions for 7-8 more minutes until soft and browned, stirring occasionally.
4. Meanwhile, heat a second pan on medium high heat. Drain the oil from the jackfruit confit. Add the jackfruit confit to the hot pan. Gently smash it with the back of a spatula. Cook for 2 minutes until browned, then flip. Cover with vegan cheese and place the lid over the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until cheese is melty.
5. While the jackfruit and onions are cooking, toast the buns. Spread 1 tsp mustard on each bun. Uncover the pan and divide the cheesy jackfruit between the buns. Top with caramelized onions and arugula.

Notes

Store leftover caramelized onions in a closed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Use in sandwiches, wraps, tofu scramble, grilled cheese, or wherever you want a pop of flavor!
