This jackfruit pulled "pork" recipe is for vegans and anyone else who wants an interesting and healthy version of pulled pork. It satisfied the craving of this nine-year vegetarian! You can eat this right away in a sandwich with coleslaw or however you choose, but it's best to let it sit overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it. This is especially important if you don't have a slow cooker and make it in a skillet instead.

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cups chopped Vidalia onion
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
