JACKFRUIT PULLED "PORK" SLIDERS

Steps:

• Make the smoky sweet BBQ sauce: Combine the tomato sauce, mustard, brown sugar, cane sugar, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, liquid smoke and smoked paprika in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened, about 30 minutes. Set aside. Season to taste.
• For the sliders: Heat the canola oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the jackfruit and 1 1/2 cups of the Smoky Sweet BBQ sauce and bring to a boil. Stir well to combine, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water if the sauce becomes too thick.
• After 20 minutes, remove the lid and shred the jackfruit with two forks. Increase the heat and cook until the jackfruit is well coated with BBQ sauce and heated throughout, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Divide the jackfruit evenly among the slider buns and top with pickles.

VEGAN "PULLED PORK" SLIDERS

Steps:

• For the "pulled pork": Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F, line two baking sheets with parchment paper and line a third baking sheet or pan with paper towels. Brush the parchment-lined baking sheets with about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil each. Place the mushroom slices in a single layer, very close together, on the parchment and brush lightly with the remaining vegetable oil.
• Bake the mushrooms until slightly softened and brown, 25 to 30 minutes, then flip the mushrooms over, rotate the pans in the oven, and continue to bake until the mushrooms are well-browned and the edges are crispy, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to the paper-towel lined baking sheet to dry for a few minutes. (Leave the oven on.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, molasses, brown sugar, paprika and garlic powder. Carefully toss the baked mushrooms in the marinade until evenly coated. (You may need to do this in several batches.) Return the marinated mushrooms to the baking sheets in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and a few grinds of pepper and return to the oven until crisp, about 5 minutes.
• For the coleslaw: Meanwhile, combine the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl and set aside. Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, celery seed and sugar in a small bowl and mix well. Add and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots and toss to coat. Add more sugar, salt and pepper if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
• To serve: Separate the party buns into halves. Place some of the mushrooms on the bottom half of the bun, then top with coleslaw. Add toppings as desired, then top with the top bun.
