BBQ Sauce

  • In a small mixing bowl, mix together beer, soy sauce, miso paste, vegan Worcestershire sauce, almond butter, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir until everything is completely combined.

Vegan Brisket

  • Drain and rinse the jackfruit. Put the jackfruit into a blender and pulse until shredded.
  • In a bowl mix together Vital Wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir until everything is combined.
  • Pour the jackfruit mixture along with the sauce into the vital gluten mixture and combine everything quickly until it forms a dough.
  • Lightly grease the aluminum foil with olive oil and place the dough on it. Use a spatula to shape the dough into a brisket-like shape, approximately 10" long and 1½" thick.
  • Spread the rub over the top of the "brisket". Cook the brisket on the BBQ for 15-20 minutes or until it's ready. It should be grilled so it's lightly charred in a few places. Serve warm.
